This area of research often focuses on issues such as water rights, allocation mechanisms, monitoring and assessment, stakeholder participation, and conflict resolution. The goal of groundwater governance research is to develop effective and efficient strategies for managing and protecting groundwater resources in a way that promotes social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
