Significance of groundwater assessment & baseline monitoring in securing approvals| Greg Hoxley

The growing emphasis on groundwater monitoring is driven by the recognition that improper management of groundwater resources can lead to long-term environmental damage, water scarcity, and harm to ecosystems and communities. Comprehensive groundwater assessments and ongoing monitoring are now integral components of environmental impact assessments and are often mandatory for project approval. Failure to adequately assess or monitor groundwater can result in project delays, costly revisions, or even denials of approval.

Greg Hoxley, a highly experienced and Senior Principal Hydrogeologist will look to lessons learnt in the industry and highlight the increasing need for community awareness and consistent risk mitigation to ensure sustainable groundwater management throughout a project’s lifecycle.
