Abstract
Groundwater policy defines objectives, ambitions and priorities for managing groundwater resources, for the benefit of society. Planning translates policy into programmes of action. Both are often part of a wider water resource policy and planning framework, but the specific challenges pertaining to groundwater have traditionally received less attention than surface water.
The terms ‘policy,’ ‘strategy’ and ‘plans’ are used interchangeably in many countries and contexts.
