This database presents spatial data on hydrogeology of Poland including such features as: groundwater monitoring points, boreholes, major groundwater basins, groundwater bodies and many others. This website should be preferable viewed in Internel Explorer with installed Adobe plug-in. It is available in both Polish and English languages.

The Water Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform (WSSTP) is one of the technology platforms that are set up within the European Environmental Technology Action Plan (ETAP) that was adopted by the European Commission in 2004. It is a European initiative, open to all stakeholders involved in European water supply and sanitation and major end-user groups. The participants in the platform will together produce a common vision document for the whole European water industry together with a strategic research agenda and an implementation plan for the short (2010), medium (2020) and long term (2030). The WSSTP will contribute to: the competitiveness of the European water industry (Lisbon Strategy); solving the European water problems and reaching the Millennium Development Goals (Johannesburg).

This webportal forwards to websites with focus on information relevant for the implementation of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). The linked websites contain a wide range of information such as (CIS) guidance documents, selections of ICT tools, methodologies and results of research projects (e.g. the CatchMod cluster). The information can be in the form of guidance's, synthesis reports, ICT-tools and projects as well as to contact persons at any level involved in the implementation and support of the WFD. Information is presented from all over Europe (and even beyond), at European, national and regional level as well as for river(sub-)basins. Different user groups are distinguished and guided by intelligent search to customized selection of available information needed to accomplish any WFD task.

Water, the blue gold of the 21st century, can be monitored from space at several different stages of the hydrological cycle, using Earth observing satellites. Following the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development, the European Space Agency has launched the TIGER Initiative - focusing on the use of space technology for water resource management in Africa and providing concrete actions to match the Resolutions.

This GIS portal provides access to hydrogeological maps and well data of 12 EU countries. It was developed in frame of EC co-funded project "Multilingual cross-border access to ground water databases" (eWater).

The European Water Association (EWA) is an independent non-governmental and non-profit making organisation dealing with the management and improvement of the water environment. It was founded on 22 June 1981 as the European Water Pollution Control Association. The scope of the Association was enlarged in 1999 with the change of name to the European Water Association.

The Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) is a policy institute that contributes to international efforts to ‘find solutions to the world’s escalating water crisis. SIWI advocates futureoriented, knowledge-integrated water views in decision making, nationally and internationally, that lead to sustainable use of the world’s water resources, sustainable development of societies and reduced poverty. By creating opportunities for dialogue and collaboration between water experts and decision makers, SIWI stimulates the development of innovative policies and scientifically based solutions to water-related problems. This is necessary in order to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals and the water-related targets which were agreed upon at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg.

IAH is an international organisation for scientists, engineers and other professionals working in the fields of groundwater resource planning, management and protection. It was founded in 1956 and has grown, with the increasing social and environmental importance of groundwater, to a membership of more than 3500 members in more than 135 countries. We welcome into membership all those, from whatever country, discipline or level of technical knowledge, who want to improve their understanding of groundwater issues and support its better management. All members receive the same member services. IAH harnesses the research, knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm of its members to promote the professional management of groundwater as part of the integrated management of water resources.

The International Association for Environmental Hydrology is a worldwide association for hydrology and the environment, dedicated to cleanup of fresh water resources. IAEH publishes the Journal of Environmental Hydrology, Hydrology News, and the HydroKit series of hydrology software modeling packages.

The European Water Partnership is an action-oriented open forum for all stakeholders including governmental agencies (local, national and European), knowledge institutes, private companies, non-governmental organisations, the public and private financial sector, end-users and civil society groups to exchange views, to find solutions for the water challenges in wider Europe and to stimulate partnerships.

The Global Water Partnership is a working partnership among all those involved in water management: government agencies, public institutions, private companies, professional organizations, multilateral development agencies and others committed to the Dublin-Rio principles. Today, this comprehensive partnership actively identifies critical knowledge needs at global, regional and national levels, helps design programs for meeting these needs, and serves as a mechanism for alliance building and information exchange on integrated water resources management. The mission of the Global Water Partnership is to "support countries in the sustainable management of their water resources."

The World Water Council was established in 1996 in response to increasing concern from the global community about world water issues. Its mission is to promote awareness, build political commitment and trigger action on critical water issues at all levels, including the highest decision-making level, to facilitate the efficient management and use of water in all its dimensions and on an environmentally sustainable basis. The WWC has been granted special consultative status by UNESCO and ECOSOC.

UN Water is made up of the UN agencies, programmes and funds that have a significant role in tackling global water concerns. It also includes major non-UN partners who cooperate with them in advancing progress towards the water-related goals of the Decade Water for Life and Millennium Declaration.

The UNESCO Water Portal’s objective is to improve access to information on freshwater on the web. The site serves as a thematic entry point to the current UNESCO and UNESCO-led programmes on freshwater. It also provides a platform for sharing and browsing websites of other water-related organizations, government bodies and NGOs through the water links and events databases. You can get involved by providing information on activities, useful links, news and content.
