Groundwater and soil in urban areas are under enormous pressures: according to the European Environment Agency about 70% of the European population lives in urban areas, which cover in total about 25% of the total territory. Sustainable use of the resources soil and groundwater and protection and conservation of their quality are hence a key issue of European environment policy and an enormous challenge for European research. The 2nd IMAGE-TRAIN Cluster Meeting with the title "Sustainable Management of Soil and Groundwater in Urban Areas" had the ambition to review European research in this field and to bring together experts working in the field and to initiale a solution finding process.
