“…Due to this inefficiency (between 37 and 53 percent), poor farming techniques has caused a wide spectrum of problems including water logging salinity, low productivity, soil infertility, and deteriorating ground water quality (Hussein, 2011). On a global scale, it is estimated that the average world irrigation efficiency is approximately 50 percent in the years 2005 to 2007 which means that one-half of water withdrawal is lost between the source and its destination (Hertel & Liu, 2016).…”

“…However, the rate of groundwater extraction may easily exceed the replenishment of these resources, leading to their depletion. Excessive withdrawal, especially in regions heavily dependent on groundwater, can make agriculture even more vulnerable during prolonged drought periods [20].…”

“…It should be emphasized that the depletion of groundwater leads to a range of negative environmental effects. Hertel and Liu [20] state that the depletion of groundwater leads to the drying of wetlands and watercourses dependent on groundwater. Watercourses dry up due to the reduction of baseflow values originating from groundwater.…”

This article addresses the issue of droughts in recent years in Poland and their impact on the state of groundwater resources. This paper presents the challenges arising from the increasing demand for the use of groundwater for irrigation in agriculture, supplementing water shortages, and potential threats to the water supply of rural waterworks. The main part of this paper focuses on a small catchment area in the Mazovian Lowland, which is one of the driest regions in the country. This article includes definitions, characteristics, and causes of hydrologic and hydrogeologic droughts during the period 2011–2020. In the discussed area, there is generally one groundwater level of the Quaternary age, primarily recharged by rainfall infiltration, which is utilized by all dug wells and a number of drilled wells. The source material consisted of daily measurements of groundwater levels with a free surface from three piezometers located in different land use areas (forest, agricultural, and sparse development). Additionally, daily flows of the Zagożdżonka River at the Płachty Stare gauge station were examined, where the drying of the riverbed in the upper reaches has been observed in recent years. This study investigated the dynamics of hydrogeologic droughts in renewable groundwater resources and the rate of their decline in relation to hydrologic droughts of surface waters.

“…The relationship between economic growth and water availability is complex and gradually becomes more apparent (Hertel and Liu 2016). International trade is currently a determining factor to measure economic growth and it increases the demand for basic inputs such as fresh water, energy and land.…”

ATINER is an independent and non-profit Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER's downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens"…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing". ("Pericles' Funeral Oration", in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER's mission to revive the glory of Ancient Athens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people's opinions and beliefs. After all, the free expression of one's opinion formed the basis for the development of democracy, and Athens was its cradle. As it turned out, the Golden Age of Athens was in fact, the Golden Age of the Western Civilization. Education and (Re)searching for the 'truth' are the pillars of any free (democratic) society. This is the reason why Education and Research are the two core words in ATINER's name.
