The aim of this book is to document for the first time the dimensions and requirements of good integrated groundwater management. Groundwater management is a formidable challenge and should be one of humanity’s foremost priorities. Given past and current rates of over-extraction, groundwater is largely a non-renewable resource in many parts of the world. The issue is how we manage this crucial resource in an acceptable way that considers the sustainability of the resource for future generations and the socioeconomic and environmental impacts. In many cases this means restoring a degree of equilibrium to at-risk aquifers.   there are many, often-interrelated dimensions to managing groundwater effectively. It is important to get the science and social science right, to work on, and with, the policy framework, and to ensure the wider community, and stakeholders in areas of concern, support and participate in making the challenging decisions. Generally speaking, pursuing an integrated approach will mean considering the wider context of surface water and catchment management.
