Addressing the Groundwater Governance Challenge A call from the ” Groundwater Governance: A Global Framework for Action” Project

This book chapter, part of the 'Groundwater Governance: A Global Framework for Action' project, provides a global overview of groundwater resources and their governance. It analyzes the roles of actors, national legal frameworks, policies, and information/knowledge, while proposing a 'Global Vision for 2030' and a 'Framework for Action' to achieve good governance.

• The chapter analyzes groundwater governance through four primary components: actors, national legal frameworks, policies, and information and knowledge. This analysis is based on thematic papers and five regional consultations conducted as part of a GEF-supported project on Global Groundwater Governance.
• The authors utilize The Netherlands as a specific case study to demonstrate the importance of monitoring and assessment within the broader context of groundwater governance.
• The document outlines a 'Global Vision for 2030' and a 'Framework for Action' intended to guide the path toward good groundwater governance. This framework was developed through a joint implementation by the World Bank, FAO, IAH, and UNESCO.
