Groundwater Ressources in Austria

Analysis of the development of groundwater recharge and available groundwater resources in the reference period 3rd to 4th NGP (National Water Management Plan) for near-surface groundwater bodies: Review and, if necessary, update of groundwater recharge and groundwater resources based on the BML study “Austria's Water Resources.” This is done by comparing relevant data from the time series 1998–2017 and 2004–2023. The findings obtained in the course of the analysis are to be incorporated into the draft for the 4th NGP. Furthermore, scenarios for groundwater recharge and available groundwater resources are being developed as part of adaptation strategies to climate change for Austrian water management.
