地下水资源是地球上最可靠的淡水来源，只要它们得到可持续的管理。虽然世界上有几个地区地下水严重枯竭和污染的情况有据可查，但其他地区有可能利用未开发的地下水资源来推动当地的人类发展。在这里，我认为在地下水治理和管理的全球视角的重要性，介绍了最近的全球地下水可持续性倡议，并批判性地反思水文地质学家在地下水可持续性的作用。
No abstract but introduction: Groundwater resources are the most reliable source of freshwater on the planet, so long as they are sustainably managed. While serious groundwater depletion and contamination are well documented in several regions around the world, other regions have the potential to leverage under-developed groundwater resources to fuel local human development. Here, I argue for the importance of global perspectives in groundwater governance and management, introduce a recent global groundwater sustainability initiative, and critically reflect on the role of hydrogeologists in groundwater sustainability.
