GSEU and EuroGeoSurveys experts will be present at the European Civil Protection Forum 2026 with a dedicated exhibition booth, showcasing European geological knowledge and solutions that support disaster risk reduction, preparedness, and resilience.
Geological Service for Europe: supporting civil protection through groundwater intelligence
Droughts, floods, and other climate-related extremes are becoming more frequent and intense, affecting water safety and security[KH1] . Improving Europe’s capacity to anticipate hydro-meteorological risks is essential for protecting society and nature, and implementing the European Water Resilience Strategy.
The European Groundwater Monitoring Database (EUGM), accessible via the European Geological Data Infrastructure, is a flagship result of the EU-funded Geological Service for Europe project. Developed by 28 partner countries, it integrates harmonised groundwater data and forecasting capabilities to provide actionable insights for drought resilience, flood warning, sustainable groundwater management, and preparedness for climate-related hydro-meteorological risks.
Through expert-led demonstrations and case studies, visitors will explore the capabilities of the EUGM: near-real-time groundwater-level monitoring, trend analysis, anomaly detection, and short- and long-term forecasting.
