This webinar will discuss the pathways toward sustainable, inclusive, and resilient groundwater management in Asia and the Pacific. It will primarily look at India’s national policies and practices at community levels, considering India is the world’s largest user of groundwater. Groundwater depletion in India results from water, energy, and food policies that have given rise to anexus where growth in agriculture has been supported by unsustainable water and energy use trends. The most extensive groundwater management programs of the Indian Government show great promise on how scale and quality can co-exist in community-led programs for water.
