Theoretical Aspects Concerning Groundwater Reserves and Resources Assessment and Administration

Abstract. A great part of human domestic activities, agriculture and industrial water supply use groundwater. Overexploitation and other forms of quantitative and qualitative human impact have negative consequence in the protection and conservation of groundwater resources. Increasing investigation degrees in groundwater resources research, offering new detailed information allow transposition in numerical models for quantitative assessment of water reserves and resources. A correct groundwater assessment and administration is based on certain major concepts concerning resource establishment, water storage in rocks of the terrestrial crust, hydraulic properties, groundwater investigation methods and reserve and resource types
