“…Furthermore, analyzing citizens' perception of local water resources is necessary for groundwater management and for its qualitative and quantitative improvement. Therefore, understanding the citizens' perception of local water resources, the chains of their exploitation and climate change is important for collaboration between water users themselves and for conflict management (Vélez-Nicolás et al, 2021). Galvão and Tedesco (2022) also claim that research on environmental perception cooperates to reduce human-environment conflicts, both through the creation of policies and the elaboration of more sustainable strategies.…”

Springs are one of the main sources of water supply for the population living in rural areas. Through the application of a questionnaire composed of 16 questions and based on IIAN (Springs Environmental Impact Index), the objective was to capture the environmental perception of producers about ten springs, with each owner evaluating those belonging to his property. The study region is in the rural area of Floriano, district of Barra Mansa, located in the state of Rio de Janeiro. According to the environmental perception of these owners, 50% of the springs fit within the degree of reasonable preservation, 40% were considered to be in good condition and 10% were classified in the degree of preservation considered poor. The type of questionnaire applied can supply, indirectly, the lack of information on water quality and the conservation of springs in that area. Therefore, the analysis of environmental perception allows to understand the man/environment relationship.

“…Several studies show the value of questionnaires to assess the stakeholders' opinions [43][44][45]. In this study, key stakeholders were interviewed through a questionnaire written in the native language of the countries of each pilot site (Italian, Spanish, Turkish, and Arabic) and provided online in the period between July and October 2020.…”

Recent studies highlight the fragility of the Mediterranean basin against climate stresses and the difficulties of managing the sustainable development of groundwater resources. In this work, the main issues related to groundwater management have been identified from the stakeholder’s perspective in the following four representative water-stressed Mediterranean areas: the coastal aquifer of Comacchio (Italy), the Alto Guadalentín aquifer (Spain), the alluvial aquifer of the Gediz River basin (Turkey), and the Azraq aquifer (Azraq Wetland Reserve, Jordan). This has been achieved by designing a methodology to involve and engage a representative set of stakeholders, including a questionnaire to learn their point of view concerning the current management of aquifer systems and their experience with the already available tools for groundwater resource management, such as monitoring networks and numerical models. The outcome of the survey has allowed us to identify both particular and common challenges among the four study sites and among the various groups of stakeholders. This information provides valuable insights to improve the transfer of scientific knowledge from the research centers to the authorities managing the groundwater resources and it will help to plan more effective research activities on aquifer management. The proposed methodology could be applied in other aquifers facing similar problems.
