Groundwater is a vital resource for agriculture, forestry, and various other uses.
It is also essential for ensuring social well-being, economic growth, and environmental development.
However, this limited and non-renewable resource faces constant pressure.

The development of a comprehensive hydrogeological map for the United Arab Emirates represents a significant achievement in the field of water resource documentation and management.
This map serves as a valuable tool for making strategic decisions about future water management.
And will also contribute to enhancing efforts to maintain water quality, quantity, and equitable distribution.

Goals of the Hydrogeological Map of the UAE

  • Develop a spatial database and layers of digital maps:
     These will include information on groundwater reservoirs, surface water basins, dam locations.
    As well as water infrastructure at various scales and with high accuracy within a geographic information system (GIS) framework.
  • Utilize project outputs for policy development: This includes policies for exploiting and conserving both groundwater and surface water resources.
  • Identify groundwater potential: This involves determining its levels, quality, and distribution, in addition to studying wells, dams, and water facilities.
  • Develop a comprehensive water database: This will be accessible to relevant authorities within the country.

Accomplishments

The hydrogeological map project has achieved several notable accomplishments, including:

  • Collecting, classifying, and analyzing all available data: This data was obtained from well drilling projects, well inventories, research studies, and relevant reports.
  • Utilizing GIS for data analysis and interpretation: This process helped identify data gaps and address them through field testing and measurements.
  • Producing the first-of-its-kind comprehensive hydrogeological map of the UAE.

Strategic Importance of the Hydrogeological Map

This map provides a valuable tool for making strategic water management decisions in the future.
Also, it will help relevant authorities in the UAE:

  • Prioritize investments in different water sources.
  • Develop policies and plans for water resource conservation.
