ABSTRACT
Groundwater is facing two major threatening issues—depletion and degradation which affect both the quantity and the quality of groundwater. Though scientific output has progressed well ahead in the domain of groundwater, but very little has been done with respect to the establishment of the groundwater governance framework. Groundwater is perceived as a widely distributed resource, but it is fundamentally a local entity. The chapter proposes a regional groundwater governance framework from the regional perspective of Fatehgarh Sahib district of Punjab, India.
