This essay is a by-product of efforts by the World Bank Groundwater Management Advisory Team (GW-MATE), directed by the first author, to assist various national government agencies in developing nations (most notably those of Brazil and India) to formulate more appropriate policy on urban groundwater use. This work has benefited greatly by its presentation and discussion at the following series of regional or thematic conferences, co-sponsored by the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) : Kampala (Uganda) in June 2008, Hannover (Germany) in October 2008, Natal (Brazil) in November 2008, Bangkok (Thailand) in February 2009 and Bogota (Colombia) in July 2009.
