description The groundwater crisis stands out as one of the most pressing water–energy–food–ecosystems (WEFE) nexus challenges in South Asia, which is why NEXUS Gains has dedicated considerable resources to addressing this challenge over the past three years. Groundwater is challenging to govern because, as a common pool resource, it is accessible to anyone who can dig a well, yet it is invisible to users and difficult to monitor and regulate. But groundwater is more than a complex problem with multiple causes and effects. It is a truly “wicked problem” that resists resolution because of the complex interplay of contradictory and constantly changing conditions. Addressing this multifaceted issue requires integrated solutions that combine technology, regulation, and community-driven inclusive approaches.
