Sustainable economic growth requires plentiful supplies of high-quality water. This has placed pressure on groundwater resources globally and forced the international groundwater science, engineering and regulatory community to recognize the current limitations of research and resource management. Integrated and technically feasible approaches tackling local issues and watershed-scale concerns concurrently are required. These were considered by GQ2004 (Waterloo, Canada) and this collection of papers comprises a reviewed selection from the conference. The introductory contributions include global and several national perspectives, followed by sections dealing with: Contaminant input processes; Site characterization; Management and decision making; Natural attenuation processes and applications; In situ remediation; and Flow and transport modelling at the national, the watershed and smaller scales.
