“…Some studies employ sophisticated quantitative analyses of sustainability indicators. For example, Singh and Bhakar (2021) present a groundwater sustainability index in Rajasthan using an Analytic Hierarchy Process. Other studies employ cluster analysis, principal components analysis, and multi-criteria models, though those studies tend to involve small to medium sized samples of 10 to 100 water projects (Ibrahim, 2017;Molinos-Senante et al, 2019)-rather than the thousands of villages and hundreds of local staff in the Indian district context.…”

Districts across India are progressing toward the national Jal Jeevan Mission goal of piped water supply and 100% Functional Household Tap Connections (FHTC) for all by 2024. While state and national data monitor progress toward tap water connection coverage, the functionality and sustainability of those piped water supplies are less clear. This study presents a Sustainability Planning Framework to assess rural drinking water conditions and needs at the village, block, and district scales. It employs a mobile app to survey five key aspects of sustainability: source water sustainability, water service sustainability, operations and maintenance financial sustainability, village institutional capacity, and asset management. Ordinal scores for these sustainability variables are analyzed and interpreted though GIS mapping to identify locations and types of village support needed. Scores are aggregated to create an overall village drinking water sustainability index. Important hydroclimatic, geomorphological, and socio-economic correlates of the drinking water sustainability index are also examined. This framework and methods can help districts in Maharashtra and other states analyze drinking water services, plan future investments, and make policy adjustments to ensure sustainability.

SUDE model is a systematic sustainable use model based on the view of the whole life cycle of water resources. The analysis of the model water resources has been divided into four stages according to the state of motion water resourcesat different times in its life cycle, namely the water supply stage (“S”),water use phase (“U”),water collection,treatment anddrainage stage (“D”) and water return to natural ecological (ecology) environment for dilution, degradation stage (“E”).on the analysis above,SUDE theoretical model of water system has been built and corresponding evaluation index systemhas therefore been established. Then, we use entropy weight TOPSIS method to evaluate thesustainability of water resource during 2013∼2017 yearsin Wuhan, and finally the corresponding conclusions and suggestion have been drawn according to the result of evaluation in the paper.

“…The second approach aims to establish a comprehensive evaluation framework that considers various aspects, including resources, economy, and ecology (Bui et al, 2018;Karimi et al, 2022;Samani et al, 2021). It evaluates the sustainability of groundwater resources and ascertain the degree of sustainability using various indexes such as groundwater sustainability infrastructure index (Pandey et al, 2011) and groundwater sustainability index (Singh & Bhakar, 2021). The above two kinds of evaluation approach are both based on the groundwater storage.…”

Groundwater resource sustainability faces significant challenges due to groundwater overdraft and waterlogging. Here we propose a novel framework for evaluating the sustainability of groundwater resources. The framework incorporates a dynamic calculation of the ecological groundwater depth (EGWD) at the grid scale, considering multiple protective targets. To quantitatively evaluate the groundwater sustainability, we utilize reliability, resilience, and vulnerability, to measure the frequency, duration, and extent of unsatisfactory conditions. We apply this framework to the lower part of Tao’er River Basin in China. During the non-growth period and growth period, the upper thresholds of the EGWD range from 1.16 to 2.05 meters and 1.16 to 4.05 meters, respectively. The lower thresholds range from 6.28 to 33.54 meters and 4.87 to 30.72 meters, respectively. Future climate change improves reliability performances in regions with deep groundwater depths. Although the precipitation infiltration increases in future scenarios, prolonged duration and enhanced intensity of extreme climate events lead to decreased resilience and vulnerability performances under climate change. The proportion of areas with resilience values less than 1/12 expands to 2~3 times that of the historical scenario. Furthermore, we observe that more areas face the dual challenges of groundwater depletion and waterlogging under future climate change, particularly in high-emission scenarios. This study enhances understanding of groundwater resource sustainability by considering the spatial-temporal distribution of the EGWD, climate change impacts, and the identification of key regions for management. The insights can inform the development of effective strategies for sustainable groundwater resource management.
