Australia faces severe water shortages and is heavily dependent on groundwater for domestic, agricultural and industrial water supplies with groundwater accounting for >30% of total water consumption. A critical mass of internationally recognised scientists in groundwater research and related disciplines, coupled with investment in research and training across the nation over five years will provide policy makers with the knowledge to manage groundwater sustainably and securely, and to better understand and maximize its value to the community, the environment and industry. The Centre will also be responsible for training the next generation of groundwater professionals critically needed to effectively manage this resource. The benefits of the research and training will ultimately enhance the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of all Australians.

澳大利亚面临严重的水资源短缺，生活、农业和工业用水严重依赖地下水，地下水占总用水量的30%。在地下水研究和相关学科方面拥有一批国际公认的科学家，再加上在全国范围内五年的研究和培训投资，将为政策制定者提供可持续和安全管理地下水的知识，并更好地理解和最大化地下水对社区、环境和工业的价值。该中心还将负责培训有效管理这一资源所急需的下一代地下水专业人员。研究和培训的好处最终将提高所有澳大利亚人的社会、经济和环境福祉。
