Groundwater allocation (water utilities)

  • Groundwater
  • policy

The OECD recently released a report Groundwater Allocation: Managing Growing Pressures on Quantity and Quality that analyses how the distinctive features of groundwater (as compared to surface water) could be addressed in allocation policy design. Groundwater generally exhibits the characteristics of a common pool resource, which makes excluding users from access difficult and costly.
