Groundwater contributes to the sustainable development of many
Asian cities by providing water for domestic, industrial and
agricultural uses and regulating ecosystem flows. However,
groundwater has not always been properly managed, which often has
resulted in depletion and degradation of the resource. Groundwater
Environment in Asian Cities presents the up-to-date scientific
knowledge on groundwater environment in fourteen Asian cities using
Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework. In detail
the book presents the facts and figures of groundwater dependency,
problems related to groundwater over exploitation, implementation
of various policy instruments and management practices and their
results in selected fourteen Asian cities, namely; Bandung
(Indonesia), Bangkok (Thailand), Beijing (China), Bishkek
(Kyrgyzstan), Chitwan (Nepal), Delhi (India), Dili (East Timor), Ho
Chi Minh (Vietnam), Hyderabad (India), Khulna (Bangladesh), Lahore
(Pakistan), Seoul (South Korea), Tokyo (Japan), and Yangon
(Myanmar). The book provides the one-step platform to get
sufficient details about groundwater aquifers, hydrogeology,
groundwater status, impacts on groundwater environment and
responses (technology, policy, institutional, etc.) deployed in the
case studies cities, and therefore, provides a snap-shot of Asian
groundwater environments. The theoretical background of the topics
discussed along with the case studies help the readers understand
the similarities and differences about the status of groundwater
development and use in each city. In addition, the information in
the book will serve as a baseline for other research such as
mitigation of groundwater related problems (e.g., land subsidence),
impact of climate change on groundwater, and importance of
groundwater for implementing sustainable development goals in
future.
