Groundwater resources have long been considered as one of the vital sources of water supply and meeting the needs of human societies. Groundwater resources governance through the consensus of public, private and public actors in a participatory perspective seeks to find existing challenges and gaps, formulate, and provide solutions to improve and improve the conditions for sustainable use of water resources, especially groundwater resources. Therefore, in this study, in order to study and evaluate the governance of groundwater resources in the Hamadan-Bahar plain, the water resources governance framework presented by the OECD in 2015 was used. The present study was evaluated using field method, survey technique and questionnaire tools and using SPSS software and 3.Smart PLS in order to evaluate the governance indicators of groundwater resources from the perspective of 86 experts and officials of relevant organizations. For this purpose, the OECD governance framework (2015), which includes 3 main sections of productivity, effectiveness, trust and interaction and 12 sub-categories are divided. The results of F2 effect size showed that among the structures, policy structure, optimal use of resources, information and data with values of 0/422 0/356 and 0/326, respectively, based on F2 effect size criteria between 0/15 and 0/35 have a large effect on the latent variable exogenous And other structures have a moderate effect. In addition, the result of the fit of the general model GOF standard is 0/29, which indicates a good and acceptable fit. In addition, the results of t-test and path coefficients (β) showed that policy structures, Innovation, and Financial have the greatest and strongest impact on the governance of groundwater resources in the Hamadan-Bahar plain.
