    Inventario de experiencias de recarga artificial de acuíferos en el mundo
    (Tecnología y desarrollo, 2005) Fernández Escalante, Álvaro Enrique; García Rodríguez, Manuel; Villarroya Gil, Fermín Ignacio
    La recarga artificial de acuíferos es una técnica ampliamente utilizada en varios paises europeos y en USA y Australia, y que sin embargo está infrautilizada en España. Se estima que el volumen de recarga artificial en España en la actualidad es de sólo 50 hm3/año. Se ha recopilado una extensa bibliografía sobre experiencias en países de todo el mundo que pueden ser útiles para el lector interesado. El objetivo principal de este artículo es alentar el desarrollo de estas actuaciones en España sobre un riguroso control técnico y científico.

    A Methodology for the Evaluation of Water Policies in European Countries
    (Environmental Management, 2010) De Stefano, Lucia; De Pedraza Gilsanz, Javier; Villarroya Gil, Fermín Ignacio
    Periodic assessment of progress toward established policy goals is crucial to understanding whether the applied efforts are effective. In Europe, the Water Framework Directive (WFD) adopted in year 2000 set ambitious environmental objectives to be achieved by the end of 2015 through the implementation of Integrated Water Resources anagement (IWRM) principles. While at this stage it is premature to measure the impact of this Directive in terms f environmental outcomes, it is nonetheless important to develop indicators in order to monitor whether water management practices throughout Europe are aligning towards IWRM. This article presents the methodological development of the Water and Wetland Index, a comparative water policy assessment by environmental NGOs that was carried out in 2002–2003, and highlights the interest of repeating it in 2015, when the first WFD planning cycle will be completed.

    Sustainable development and groundwater resources exploitation
    (Environmental geology, 1998) Villarroya Gil, Fermín Ignacio; Aldwell, C.R.
    In evaluating groundwater development both the positive and negative effects must be considered; otherwise biased conclusions may be reached. Only with equal concern for the needs of present and future generations, fair exchange of technology between countries and user involvement can sustainable groundwater development be achieved. Examination of the use of the term aquifer overexploitation shows that there is no agreement on a single definition. In most cases it relates to the overuse of aquifers, but in other cases it is a planned overuse. In Spain, overexploitation is dealt with in the water act and implemented by the regulations that enforce that act. Experience has shown that without the cooperation of the water users themselves, good results are not obtained. Relevant education is urgently needed for the public and those decision makers responsible for determining the correct use of groundwater resources for the present and future generations.
