Groundwater Governance & Management in Pakistan-6: Post # 14

F. How the terms like government, groundwater governance and groundwater management are interlinked?

Groundwater governance, as explained above, process of decision making, can be differentiated from government, who decides, and groundwater management, what is done to enforce or implement groundwater related decisions as adapted from an explanation provided by the working draft of regional consultants (30th  April 2012) on groundwater governance.  

Although outside factors like subsidy, power availability, land use, waste-water disposal, etc. do impact on the quality and quantity of water pumped/ lifted; main component of groundwater governance is about the formal and informal institutions and regulations to let this process to eliminate or minimize stress level on the sustainable groundwater quality and yield.
