dc.description.abstract	The complex nature of groundwater problems in South Asia, i.e., India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar, requires an in-depth analysis of the groundwater regimes in different hydrogeological frameworks including groundwater quality. Major groundwater problems which require effective management include overexploitation, chemical contamination, seawater intrusion, and uneven distribution in time and space. A suitable policy framework for groundwater utilization by individual countries and implementation of measures underlined in the policy need to be taken up.	en_US
