The GeoERA HOVER (hydrological processes and geological settings over Europe) project aims to achieve oversight of controls on groundwater quality across Europe.

Using the combined data held by member states, the project will assess groundwater quality and evaluate the risk of pollution in drinking water to ensure the health of each country’s citizens and ecosystems.

The creation of EU-wide aquifer vulnerability maps will enable EU countries to share their findings. And shared databases and web service tools will also be made available via the European Information Platform to increase political and public awareness.
