The groundwater multi-stakeholder group focuses on how to make the invisible more visible, which is crucial for sustainable water provision and for resilient ecosystems in facing climate change adaptation and mitigation. 

In March 2022, on World Water Day, Swedish Water House established a multi-stakeholder group on Groundwater, aimed at fostering dialogue and sharing of knowledge among actors from various sectors of society.

The group aims to enhance the understanding and proficiency of Swedish actors in incorporating hydrogeological elements into water resources management. This will support the goals of Sweden’s Global Development Policy and contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and international initiatives. Joining the cluster group involves investing time in learning and developing skills with others who are committed to the topic. The process includes member meetings, stock-taking seminars, and other methods of creating and sharing new knowledge. The group also produces policy briefs for a general audience.

In 2022, the group released a policy brief on groundwater conditions and potential in Sweden – “Svenskt grundvatten – En översikt över förhållanden och aktuella frågor” (in Swedish).

The group brings together stakeholders from diverse Swedish organisations within the public and private sectors, academia, and interest groups to enhance collective learning and investigate solutions in groundwater governance and management.
