Managing aquifer recharge and sustaining groundwater use: developing a capacity building program for creating local groundwater champions
The absence of either state regulations or markets to coordinate the operation of individual wells has focussed attention on community level institutions as the primary loci for sustainable groundwater management in Rajasthan and Gujarat, India. The reported research relied on theoretical proposi...

Assisting community management of groundwater: irrigator attitudes in two watersheds in Rajasthan and Gujarat, India
Storing excess rainwater underground can become key in mitigating the frequency and magnitude of flood events. In this context, assessment of depleted groundwater storage that can be refilled in water surplus periods is imperative. The study uses Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) da...
