Addressing the Groundwater Governance Challenge  A call from the “Groundwater Governance: A Global Framework  for  Action”  Project [link]Website  abstract   bibtex   
This chapter provides an overview and thus contributes to a better under-standing of the world’s groundwater resources, their distinctiveness and their gover-nance. It describes the principal elements of and key instruments employed in groundwater governance. To this end, the authors introduce several case studies from across the globe and offer some corresponding lessons learnt. In particular, this chapter presents an analysis of the role of monitoring and assessment in ground-water governance, showcasing the example of The Netherlands. A global diagnostic of the current state of groundwater governance is provided, based on information from a set of commissioned thematic papers and the outcomes of fi ve subsequent regional consultations carried out within the framework of a GEF-supported project on Global Groundwater Governance. It includes insights into some of the fi ndings of that project regarding the four main components of groundwater governance: actors, national legal frameworks, policies and information and knowledge. In addi-tion, the authors address the issue of governance of transboundary groundwater resources and the relevant existing international legal frameworks. In conclusion, through a Global Vision for 2030, the chapter presents a way forward to govern groundwater and a Framework for Action to achieve good governance, formulated by the Groundwater Governance Project jointly implemented by UNESCO, FAO, World Bank and IAH.
