The meeting reviewed the most pressing problems related to groundwater management in selected case study
sites (Metro Cebu, Bohai Coastal Zone, Jakarta, and Lower Mekong Delta). During discussion, available
examples for addressing those problems were examined. It was supplemented by reviewing practical use of
groundwater modelling tools to assess saltwater intrusion and land subsidence in the context of the
Netherlands, exposure visit to Amsterdam Dunes Water Supply to observe measures taken to monitor
groundwater salinity and recharge fields to minimize impacts of seawater intrusion, review of land
subsidence monitoring in China, and application of Groundwater Sustainability Index in Kathmandu.

As a reference, all details of inception meeting (including presentation slides) are uploaded in the
Groundwater Knowledge Hub webpage.
Following summarizes the main outcomes of the meeting:
Major groundwater problems Like other groundwater dependent areas, all case study areas are already affected by groundwater related
problems mainly related to over-pumping and pollution of aquifers. More specifically, four major problems
were identified that required immediate attention.
Case study sites Lowering of groundwater level
Sea water intrusion
Land Subsidence
Pollution (point and non-point sources)
Metro Cebu ○○○ ○○○ ○○ ○○ Bohai Coastal Zone ○○○ ○○○ ○○○ ○ Jakarta ○○○ ○○○ ○○ ○○○ Lower Mekong Delta ○○○ ○○○ ○ ○○
○○○: Serious problem; ○○: Problem less serious but increasing; ○: Potential future problem
Matching of common management challenges
While major problems are common to all case study areas, but management is rather complex due to
uniqueness of each problem in terms of terrain, rainfall and climate, geomorphology, aquifer types and
distribution, land uses, size of recharge areas, water quality, variable abstraction and uses, and legal and
institutional framework. Despite uniqueness of problems, three types of mutually interlinked management
challenges could be identified as shown in the following figure:
Insufficient or lack of
information about the extent
of each problem
Weak monitoring capacity
(networks, instruments and
staffs, frequency of
observation)
Poor understanding about risk
scenarios and appropriate
management measures
Management challenges

Insufficient or lack of information about each problem is the main barrier for undertaking management
actions. This situation is mainly caused by weak monitoring capacity of groundwater related information
such as fewer monitoring networks, lack of adequate instruments and staff to undertake monitoring at regular
intervals and inadequate observation frequency. In the absence of such fundamental details there is also poor
understanding about the risk scenarios and appropriate management measures.
Methodological approach Under existing situation it was identified that an integrated diagnostic approach should be adopted to identify
extent of problems, risk involved, and the most feasible mitigation options. For that three strategies were
identified:
- Understanding the state of problems and future risk scenarios through the adoption modelling tools
- Development of Coastal Groundwater Governance Index
- Effective dissemination of groundwater related information and findings to relevant stakeholders
Modelling was identified as an effective tool that helps in fulfilling following tasks:
- Systematic collection of information and their organization. It will help in finding out the
information gaps that should be overcome in future;
- Based on the collected information, conceptualize the state and dynamics of groundwater resources
and spread of the problems;
- Assessing future risks (including seawater intrusion due to climate impacts) and formulating
strategies for management actions
While modelling serves in enhancing understanding of groundwater problems and depicting risk scenarios
clearly, equally important is to analyze legal, institutional, and socio-economic setting essential for
controlling mismanagement of the resources such as unsustainable groundwater abstraction, pollution of
aquifers. For that a comprehensive Coastal Groundwater Governance Index will be formulated which
helps in identifying critical gaps in governance in a comparative manner by covering following areas:
- Adequacy of information base;
- Legal, regulatory and institutional environment;
- Level of public awareness about resource potentials and limitations;
- Socio-economy of resource abstraction and uses;
It is crucial that outcomes from modelling as well as the governance index are communicated in timely
manner to indented stakeholders. So information dissemination is a critical aspect of this project. For that
necessary arrangements will be made for sharing project activities and outcomes through project web site in
the Asia-Pacific Groundwater Knowledge Hub webpage, publications and seminars. Particularly, main
objectives of information dissemination will be to identify areas where immediate attention are critical to
safeguard future resource sustainability in terms of improving monitoring technology and infrastructure,
enhancing management skills, strengthening legal and institutional actions, policy responses and promoting
cooperation among coastal cities to tackle with future groundwater problems.
Working Plan
During the meeting working plans were developed for all case studies. Among the activities, data collection
and conceptual groundwater model development were the immediate priorities because they will be reviewed
during the Analysis Workshop to be held tentatively during the weeks of 24th March-4
th April, 2013 at Ho

Chi Minh, Vietnam. Before the analysis workshop overview training on the use and application of
groundwater model in each case study area will be provided to the project participants by UNESCO-IHE.
During the analysis workshop, a framework of Coastal Groundwater Governance Index will be developed
along with the participants based on the collected data. Based on the outcomes of analysis workshop,
existing plan will be revised according to the necessity for further data collection and field activities.
Following table briefly shows the activities to be completed in each case study site:
