This reference guide focuses on groundwater management and economics in South Asia, highlighting regional variations and the public policies that have influenced the groundwater sector. It presents the latest information on groundwater management through practical case studies and empirical data, offering strong methodological solutions for sustainable practices. Scholars in geohydrology, agricultural sciences, water resource economics, and professionals in water science and policy will find valuable insights into current policies and methods in groundwater research across the region. The contents include an introduction to groundwater characteristics, ownership regimes, and access issues in South Asia. It explores the complex concept of groundwater over-exploitation, compares well irrigation with gravity irrigation, and discusses the economics of farm ponds and solar irrigation pumps. The book also examines the role of large reservoirs in improving groundwater sustainability, addresses management challenges in semi-arid hard rock regions, and outlines institutions and policies for sustainable management in alluvial areas. Additionally, it covers the regulation of groundwater use through economic incentives and the role of market instruments and institutions in managing groundwater, particularly in under-developed regions, providing essential policy lessons for effective groundwater management.
