Groundwater Governance in the Indo-Gangetic and Yellow River Basins

This book provides a consolidated and cross-disciplinary source of information and contemporary thinking on agricultural groundwater use and management in poverty-prone areas of Asia. The editors and contributors represent a wide range of academic disciplines from both the physical and social sciences. Most of the chapters in this book rely heavily on primary data collected by the authors in the course of an innovative, cross-coordinated and inter-disciplinary fieldwork exercise, covering areas across the regions that significantly depend on groundwater for agricultural livelihoods.
