Groundwater Governance Framework

A Groundwater Governance Framework is a set of rules, policies, and institutions designed to manage and protect underground water resources sustainably. It ensures fair access, prevents overuse, and maintains water quality for communities, agriculture, and ecosystems. This framework involves collaboration among government agencies, local communities, and stakeholders to make informed decisions, monitor usage, and enforce regulations. Effective governance helps balance water needs with environmental health, ensuring that underground water remains available and safe for current and future generations.
