Abstract	The relevance of groundwater science to water-utility operations is analysed from a broad international perspective, identifying key concerns and specific opportunities for the future. The strategic importance worldwide of water utilities assuming the role of lead stakeholders for integrated groundwater resource management, recognizing their often considerable technical know-how and highly significant data holdings, is emphasized. Concurrently, the utilities themselves will need an ever-closer appreciation of groundwater-system behaviour if they are to manage efficiently their water-supply and wastewater operations.La pertinence de l’hydrogéologie dans les services de distribution d’eau potable est. analysée sous un angle international, en identifiant les préoccupations clefs et les opportunités spécifiques pour l’avenir. L’importance stratégique des services publics d’eau impliquant le rôle des principaux acteurs au niveau mondial pour la gestion intégrée des ressources en eau souterraine est. soulignée, en reconnaissant leur savoir-faire technique souvent considérable et leurs détentions de données hautement significatives. Simultanément, les services publics eux-mêmes auront besoin d’une appréciation toujours plus approfondie du comportement des systèmes d’eau souterraine s’ils doivent gérer efficacement les opérations d’approvisionnement en eau potable et d’assainissement des eaux usées.Se analiza la relevancia de la ciencia del agua subterránea para la gestion de servicios de saneamiento desde una amplia perspectiva internacional, identificando las preocupaciones claves y las oportunidades específicas para el futuro. Se hace hincapié en la importancia estratégica del papel que asumen las empresas de agua en la gestión integrada de los recursos de aguas subterráneas, reconociendo su frecuente considerable experiencia técnica y disponibilidad de datos altamente significativos. Al mismo tiempo, las propias empresas de servicios públicos necesitarán una apreciación cada vez mayor del comportamiento del sistema de aguas subterráneas si quieren gestionar eficientemente sus operaciones de suministro de agua y de tratamiento de aguas residuales.从宽阔的国际视角分析了地下水科学与水设施营运的关联性,提出了未来的关键关注点和特殊的机会。着重强调了水设施的战略重要性在综合地下水资源管理中承担着全世界重要利益相关人的角色,识别出其常常重要的技术窍门及非常显著的数据占有量。同时,如果水设施将有效地管理供水和废水运营,其本身需要地下水系统状态永远不断的增值。Neste trabalho foi analisada a relevância das ciências de águas subterrâneas para o gerenciamento de serviços de saneamento a partir de uma perspectiva internacional, identificando-se as principais dificuldades e oportunidades específicas para o futuro. Ressalta-se a importância estratégica dos serviços de saneamento dada a participação importante dos atores do setor para o gerenciamento integrado de águas subterrâneas, reconhecendo-se que os mesmos possuem sólida formação técnica e custódia de dados significantes. Atualmente, a gestão eficiente da infraestrutura do setor de saneamento, tanto de abastecimento quanto de esgotamento sanitários, passa invariavelmente pela caracterização mais precisa do comportamento dos sistemas de águas subterrâneas.
