Groundwater and urban development in the 21st century – moving from piecemeal development to planned management in developing cities

Content Provider	Scilit
Copyright Year	2016
Description	Groundwater is a critical, but often underappreciated, resource for urban water supply, a serious and costly hazard to urban infrastructure, and the 'invisible link' between various facets of the urbanisation process. An overview is presented of the benefits of urban groundwater use, together with some insidious and persistent problems that groundwater can present for urban development. Spontaneous piecemeal approaches invariably mean that 'one person's solution becomes another person's problem' – and there is a strong argument for groundwater considerations to be part of a more holistic approach to urban infrastructure planning and management. However, this is not a simple task because of the widespread vacuum of institutional responsibility and accountability for groundwater in urban areas. This chapter focuses on summarising the current state of urban groundwater management and finding pragmatic solutions to strengthening various facets of urban groundwater governance and management, using examples from Latin America and South Asia.
