Due to the various types of surface and underground contamination, an increasingly important task is meeting the demand for water in both quantity and quality. Likewise, the amount of engineering tasks requiring a geoengineering background is steadily growing. Since Hungary joined the European Union, the Water Framework Directive has set out the most important tasks regarding water resource management. One of the primary goals of experts working with water resources is to keep our surface and subsurface waters in good condition, complying with the regulations, in order to provide safe long-term supply of water for drinking and other uses. In Hungary the growing share of renewable energy means increasing demand for geothermal energy use, making protection of groundwater supplies essential.
