Abstract

In this chapter, we describe some innovative policies, regulations, and initiatives that have been implemented in the United States as part of this rapidly shifting landscape in groundwater management. Our focus is on the management of groundwater for irrigation, which is the single largest use of groundwater by withdrawals. The chapter starts with an overview of the motivations for groundwater management, focusing on market failures that can lead to socially suboptimal levels of groundwater pumping. We then describe the policy instruments and technologies that are available to address these market failures and provide examples of each. The chapter concludes with a description of four case studies of existing or proposed water management institutions and initiatives that are innovative.
