Abstract: This article explores the role of participation and the conditions for achieving sustainable groundwater governance and spatial planning by empirically examining cases in Australia and Costa Rica. A comparison of the two indicates that crisis can increase the likelihood of participation; participation can influence the government to develop environmental legislation; self-interest and profit motivation can help promote sustainability under certain conditions; and environmental legislation tends to foster sustainability.
