Global diagnostic on Groundwater Governance
2016
Groundwater development and use have proceeded rapidly in recent years, often outside of governance frameworks. As a result, unrestricted pumping and pollution have led to threats to the sustainability of aquifers, and the allocation and use of groundwater have often been poorly aligned with society’s goals for equity, sustainability and efficiency. Hence, awareness has arisen in many countries of the need to improve groundwater governance.The GEF Groundwater Governance Project has been undertaken to raise awareness amongst groundwater stakeholders, lay the foundations for governance responses, and catalyse action. The GEF Project was carried out by FAO, UNESCO, the World Bank and IAH, with inputs from a large number of groundwater professionals from all continents.
