Billions of people around the world rely for their everyday existence on groundwater. Its invisibility, however, makes groundwater notoriously difficultto govern, also complicating efforts to avoid depletion or pollution. This project sets out to comparatively study promising grass-roots initiatives ofpeople organizing around groundwater in places where pressures on the resource are particularly acute (India, Algeria, Morocco, USA, Chile, Peru,Tanzania). As these often defy or challenge conventional wisdom, the project's hypothesis is that these initiatives contain creative insights about waysof dealing with the intrinsic tensions that characterize groundwater governance: between individual and collective interests and between short-termgains and longer-term sustainability. Focusing on groundwater practices - of knowing, accessing and sharing - we combine qualitative ethnographicmethods with hydrogeological and engineering insights to explore the knowledges, technologies and institutions that characterize these initiatives. Ouraim is to enunciate and normatively assess their logic and functioning in view of tracing overlaps or patterns that allow them to serve as more genericmodels for transformations to groundwater sustainability. This effort is inspired by theorizations of water as simultaneously social and natural, buildson recent critical scholarship on institutions, and has a particular sensitivity to how the distribution and use of groundwater is mediated bytechnologies. Our overall aim is to create global action-research collaborations to generate new inspirations for thinking about and dealing withinterconnections and interdependencies between humans and groundwater

全世界数十亿人的日常生活依赖地下水。然而，地下水的不可见性使其难以治理，也使避免枯竭或污染的努力复杂化。该项目着手比较研究在地下水资源压力特别严重的地方（印度、阿尔及利亚、摩洛哥、美国、智利、秘鲁、坦桑尼亚），人们围绕地下水组织起来的有希望的基层倡议。由于这些举措往往无视或挑战传统智慧，因此该项目的假设是，这些举措包含关于如何处理地下水治理所特有的内在紧张关系的创造性见解：个人利益与集体利益之间以及短期收益与长期可持续性之间的紧张关系。关注地下水的实践--了解、获取和分享--我们将联合收割机定性人种学方法与水文地质学和工程学见解相结合，以探索这些举措的知识、技术和机构特征。我们的目标是阐明和规范性地评估其逻辑和功能，以跟踪重叠或模式，使他们能够作为更generalmodel的地下水可持续性的转变。这一努力的灵感来自于水同时作为社会和自然的理论，建立在最近对机构的批判性奖学金上，并且对地下水的分配和使用如何由技术介导特别敏感。我们的总体目标是建立全球行动研究合作，为思考和处理人类与地下水之间的相互联系和相互依存关系产生新的灵感
