This comprehensive book delves into the multifaceted realm of groundwater, exploring a wide range of issues and diverse approaches to address these concerns. Drawing upon responses from government bodies, community organizations, scientists, private sector, and academia, it aims to provide a thorough empirical examination of groundwater governance and groundwater law. The overarching objective of this book is to enhance our understanding of the complexities surrounding groundwater governance, with a view to reconceptualizing and re-theorizing the management of subterranean resources. This involves exploring the actions, behaviors, and motivations of individuals and communities when engaging in groundwater usage, sharing, protection, and measurement. By conducting a comparative and contrasting analysis of six case studies from countries in the Global North and Global South, this book offers a unique perspective on the literature, focusing on how groundwater governance and law are implemented in practice rather than merely prescribing what they should be. Furthermore, the research presented in this book provides valuable insights into how groundwater law can be redesigned and implemented based on empirical descriptions and a deep understanding of groundwater problems. Through its comprehensive coverage and insightful analysis, this book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners alike, contributing to the better management and protection of our vital groundwater resources.
