Dear Subrata,

One way to define the Groundwater Governance Structure is to base it on a cost benefit framework. This framework assumes water extraction permits can be given upto 80% annual recharge rate and then defines a higher associated cost for any use above the annual recharge rate for the users. The reasoning being that fossil water has a higher cost/value - both environmental and incremental risk of non-availability for critical uses such as human consumption. I would be happy to discuss this directly, my email is gagan.khurana@maxiterra.org
