Current models of groundwater governance focus principally on the
allocation of water, rather than taking a holistic approach
incorporating valuable storage space in the aquifer, as well as the
transformative changes in managed recharge of manufactured water,
storm water, and carbon. Effective implementation of a more modern
approach now calls for rethink of both scale and jurisdictional
boundaries. This involves linking public and private aspects of
water quantity, water quality, geothermal regulation, property
rights, subsurface storage rights, water marketing, water banking,
legal jurisdictions, and other components into a single governance
document. This style of agreement stands in contrast to the siloed
approach currently applied to aquifer resources. Using case
studies, and an activity inspired by gaming concepts to explore the
incentives, and challenges to aquifer governance approaches, this
book demonstrates how application of the principles of unitization
agreements to aquifers could provide a new approach to aquifer
governance models.
