“…However, experience across the world shows that groundwater management benefits from community involvement. Groundwater monitoring by communities in Lockyer Valley, Australia (Sarker et al, 2009), in Neemkheda, India (Kulkarni et al, 2004), and in Texas, United States (Gleeson et al, 2010) are all examples of how effective this approach can be. In India, community involvement was considered to be the immediate solution to India's groundwater problems (Kulkarni et al, 2004).…”

“…In Lockyer Valley, Australia (Sarker et al, 2009), farmers were willing provide their own water meters to monitor their consumption. In Neemkheda, India (Kulkarni et al, 2004), farmers performed groundwater monitoring and planned their consumption based on the data collected. A study conducted by Gunn and Mora (cited in Cox et al (2010)) also showed that community involvement in resources monitoring resulted in the sustainability of the resources.…”

“…Community involvement includes activities such as the monitoring of groundwater table and planning water allocation (Gleeson et al ., , ). In Neemkheda, India (Kulkarni et al ., ), some farmers were willing to learn from scientists and conduct groundwater monitoring of shallow aquifer and planning water pumping based on the condition of the groundwater. Other community involvement is managing aquifer recharge by constructing rainwater harvesting systems or infiltration ponds (Dillon, ).…”

Community‐based water supply (CBWS) is an example of how a community manages common pool resources (CPR). This results in an alternative approach to solve water supply problems in developing countries by enhancing community participation in managing water supply. This research evaluates the sustainability of five CBWS projects in Cikarang, Indonesia by using Ostrom's design principles, with additional sustainability factors found in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) on drinking water and groundwater sustainability. Quinn et al. (2007) criteria were used in the analysis, and the results show that the management of four CBWS institutions were absent and one CBWS institution was weak. With regards to the SDG's drinking water target, the CBWS institutions were unable to comply with safe water standards, and in terms of groundwater sustainability, efforts to monitor and sustain groundwater tables were absent. Results from this research suggest that more focus must be placed on water quality and groundwater sustainability for CBWS projects.

“…Among them, we can find some management measures devoted to the water supply, such as the joint use of surface and groundwater [ 10 , 13 , 17 , 21 ], water transfers [ 22 , 23 , 24 ], the introduction of alternative water resources (desalinated or re-used water) [ 14 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], as well as the development of efficient rainwater collectors [ 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Regarding the demand side, the following proposals have been given: the limitation of groundwater extraction according to the natural water recharge level [ 15 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]; restrictions to irrigation and to new extractions [ 21 , 30 , 36 ]; rearrangements of water extraction points [ 18 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]; the establishment of charging systems in order to discourage well water consumption [ 19 , 41 , 42 ]; and efficiency improvements in water management [ 16 , 36 , 43 , 44 ].…”

In the Campo de Níjar (southeast Spain), an intensive horticulture model under plastic has been developed based on the use of groundwater. For many years, aquifers have been overexploited, almost generating an environmental collapse. The construction of a desalination plant was planned to improve this situation and to achieve sustainable aquifer management. However, the aquifer is still being overexploited, since farmers scarcely use desalinated seawater for irrigation. In this paper, farmers irrigating with desalinated seawater are characterized, since they contribute to aquifer sustainability. The study aimed to identify the variables which condition the use of this water resource, as well as the kinds of incentives that encourage this option. For this purpose, a survey was undertaken within a sample of 110 farmers. A cluster analysis and a binary logistic regression were employed. The results from the cluster analysis allowed the characterization of farmers who use desalinated seawater for irrigation. Furthermore, the regression model showed the variables that determine a more intensive use of this irrigation source, such as crop diversification, availability of different water resources and the conductivity of aquifer water available for irrigation. The incentives promoting the use of desalinated seawater for irrigation that most encourage farmers are the implementation of tax relief, price reductions and the obligation to install rainwater collection systems.
