Groundwater depletion, contamination and governance challenges persist despite decades of research. Scientific methods are crucial yet seem insufficient to inspire the emotional, cultural and community connections needed for real change—groundwater challenges and opportunities may not be reaching enough hearts and minds. This perspective article invites a bold shift: integrating arts-based research into hydrogeology. Hydrogeol...

Groundwater, Earth’s largest nonfrozen freshwater reservoir, is vital for water supply security. Groundwater models help to manage complex domestic, agricultural, and industrial water demands while preserving ecosystem health under climate change. The community-driven groundwater model portal (GroMoPo) hosts groundwater model metadata to analyse biases and distribution of groundwater models. Over 450 models are currently featu...
