Abstract: This concluding chapter compares the important features of the groundwater policy and management approaches that have been implemented in France and Aus-tralia and draws lessons that may be relevant to other countries who are implementing groundwater management regimes. To support the comparison, the chapter looks at six main stages of the policy development process: 1) political awareness raising; 2) increasing the groundwater knowledge base; 3) defining and allocating water use rights; 4) defining sustainability objectives and setting extraction limits; 5) returning over allocated and overused groundwater systems to sustainable levels of extraction; and 6) enforcement policies.
