On 12 October 2023, the WMO State of Global Water Resources report 2022 will officially be launched. Besides the launch event at WMO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, there will also be two opportunities for online participation. The first launch at 12:00 CEST will primarily be interesting for participants from Oceania, Asia, Africa and Europe, while the second at 19:00 CEST will accommodate for participants from the Americas.
This 2022 edition is a unique report for the groundwater community as a whole, and IGRAC in particular, because it is the first time that groundwater is taken into account in the Global Water Resources report.
