地下水的可持续性需要挑战水密集型农业形式。有必要以多元化的方式来理解和管理地下水。将含水层耗竭归因于单个抽水行为是短视的。围绕含水层的社区倡议为可持续发展提供了有希望的经验。支持社区保护和共享地下水的努力非常重要。如果农业集约化的成功继续依赖于含水层的枯竭和对（女性）劳动力的剥削，向地下水可持续性的转变将不可能实现。因此，基于组织社会-水关系的替代方式开发新的地下水想象是非常重要的。本文认为，在资源压力严重的地方，对基层采取行动照顾、分享或补充含水层的比较文件提供了一个重要的灵感来源。我们采用反殖民主义和女权主义的方法，将地下水实践的民族志文献与水文地质和工程见解结合起来，阐明、规范评估并共同从这些倡议的知识、技术和制度中学习。这样做可以有效地将规范和管理地下水的计划工作的重点从政府控制个人抽水行为的努力转移到确定在集体行动中将转变锚定到可持续性的可能性。
HighlightsGroundwater sustainability requires challenging water-intensive forms of agriculture.There is a need for pluralizing ways of understanding and doing groundwater governance.Attributing aquifer depletion to individual pumping behavior is shortsighted.Community initiatives around aquifers provide promising lessons for sustainability.Support to community efforts to care for and share groundwater is important.If the success of agricultural intensification continues to rely on the depletion of aquifers and exploitation of (female) labour, transformations to groundwater sustainability will be impossible to achieve. Hence, the development of new groundwater imaginaries, based on alternative ways of organizing society-water relations is highly important. This paper argues that a comparative documentation of grass-roots initiatives to care for, share or recharge aquifers in places with acute resource pressures provides an important source of inspiration. Using a grounded anti-colonial and feminist approach, we combine an ethnographic documentation of groundwater practices with hydrogeological and engineering insights to enunciate, normatively assess and jointly learn from the knowledges, technologies and institutions that characterize such initiatives. Doing this usefully shifts the focus of planned efforts to regulate and govern groundwater away from government efforts to control individual pumping behaviours, to the identification of possibilities to anchor transformations to sustainability in collective action.
