Summary
This report grew out of a request to within the UN Administrative Coordinating Committee (ACC) Sub-Committee on Water Resources to establish a position on groundwater management within the group of [[UN Agency|UN agencies involved with groundwater development and management. It comes at a time when the use of the world’s groundwater resources and related aquifer ‘services’ is intensifying, with little or no prospect for resolving the detrimental impacts through conventional management approaches. This raises the question as to whether such conventional water management approaches are inherently limited with respect to groundwater or whether the policy ‘space’ needs to be radically expanded to accommodate the drivers of demand for limited groundwater resources. The more specific question is then how the UN agencies involved with groundwater then position themselves to best effect in their respective country and regional programmes.
