UNU-INWEH Report: 'Groundwater and Sustainable Development Goals - Analysis of Interlinkages'

The Groundwater Solutions Initiative for Policy and Practice (GRIPP) just UNUCoversent me notification of a seminal report that examines the interlinkages between groundwater and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is an important report because discussions of the SDGs rarely invoke groundwater - a bizarre circumstance since groundwater is so much of Earth's liquid freshwater. Go figure....

Kudos go to GRIPP partners UNU-INWEH (United Nations University Institute for Water, Enviroment and Health), CGIAR-WLE (CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems) and CGIAR-IWMI (CGIAR International Water Management Institute). Authors are Lisa Guppy, Paula Uyttendaele, Karen G. Villholth and Vladimir Smakhtin. 

Download Groundwater_SDGs_Analysis_of_Interlinkages

Executive Summary

Groundwater represents 97% of the world’s available freshwater resources and is extensively abstracted throughout the world. While abundant in a global context, it can only de developed to a certain extent without causing environmental impacts. Also, it is highly variable across the globe, and where it is heavily relied on, it is less renewable. Hence, it is critically important that this resource is managed sustainably. However, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Development Agenda do not, as a rule, account explicitly for the signi cant role that groundwater plays and will continue to play in sustainable development. This report aims to unpack and highlight this role through consistent analysis of the interlinkages between groundwater and the targets of the SDGs.

UNU1

The key features of groundwater relevant to the SDGs are its use, management and sustainability. The methodology used to analyse groundwater interlinkages with SDG targets includes, rst, identi cation of ‘evidence-based’ and ‘logical’ interlinkages. The rst type of interlinkages is supported by existing data, while the second is by information and logic that needs to be drawn from existing bodies of relevant research. While only a few interlinkages may be seen at present as “evidence-based”, more data are continuously emerging to make more interlinkages supported by hard-core evidence.

Subsequently, the interlinkages are classi ed into either ‘reinforcing’, ‘con icting’ or ‘mixed’ - depending on whether achievement of a target will have predominantly positive, negative, or mixed impact on groundwater. The interlinkages are also classi ed into ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’, depending on how strong and direct the impacts on groundwater from achieving the targets may be. The report presents a summary of key interlinkages, and subsequently provides the narrative of all ‘primary’ ones.

The analysis suggests that more than half of interlinkages are ‘reinforcing’, while only a few are ‘con icting’. From a policy perspective i) conflicting interlinkages are the most critical and dif cult ones to manage, and ii) it is important to draw synergies between SDG initiatives and groundwater to allow reinforcing interlinkages to materialise. Nearly a third of all identi ed interlinkages were classi ed as ‘mixed’. This means that when target activities are planned, careful consideration must be given to possible impacts on groundwater to avoid unintended negative outcomes that may not be evident at rst. Primary interlinkages that constitute 43% of all may be the easiest to understand and the most important to plan for. However, there are even more secondary interlinkages. This means that groundwater experts need to be able to share knowledge to a range of actors involved in addressing the targets with secondary interlinkages to groundwater, and vice versa.

UNU2

It is also shown that i) the importance of groundwater to sustainable development is poorly recognised and captured at the SDG target level; ii) there is a lack of globally useful, up-to-date and SDG-relevant groundwater data available, which makes it dif cult to make globally, and even locally, relevant recommendations for groundwater use, management and sustainability in the SDG era, and iii) there are often poor links between targets and their indicators. This may signal that all groundwater-related and groundwater-relevant aspirations may not be translated into real, let alone, measurable action.

This report is not a comprehensive analysis and involves an element of subjectivity, associated primarily with the data and information paucity on one hand, and with the imperfection of the SDG target and indicator system itself – on another. However, even with these limitations, the report shows how signi cant groundwater is in sustainable development, even if the current SDG framework is implicit about this. Furthermore, it suggests a structured way to improve the visibility of groundwater in the SDG framework as it continues to develop.

Enjoy!

CRS Report: 'Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) - Current Status of the 2015 Clean Water Rule' (Updated: 6 December 2018)

Another CRS report hot off the press - 6 December 2018! This one is by Laura Gatz:"Waters of the United States" (WOTUS): Current Status of the 2015 Clean Water Rule.

CRS Report_Status_WOTUS 6December2018 R45424

Click on the graphics to enlarge them.

Introduction
The Clean Water Act (CWA) is the principal federal law governing pollution of the nation’s surface waters. The statute protects “navigable waters,” which it defines as “the waters of theUnited States, including the territorial seas.” The scope of the term waters of the United States, or WOTUS, is not defined in the CWA. Thus, the Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have defined the term in regulations several times as part of their implementation of the act.

Two Supreme Court rulings (Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Rapanos v. United States), issued in 2001 and 2006 (respectively), interpreted the scope of the CWA more narrowly than EPA and the Corps had done previously in regulations and guidance. However, the rulings also created uncertainty about the intended scope of waters that are protected by the CWA. In 2014, the Corps and EPA proposed revisions to the existing 1980s regulations in light of these rulings. After reviewing over 1 million public comments and holding over 400 meetings with diverse stakeholders, the Corps and EPA issued a final rule in June 2015. The final rule—the Clean Water Rule—focused on clarifying the regulatory status of waters with ambiguous jurisdictional status following the Supreme Court rulings, including isolated waters and streams that flow only part of the year and nearby wetlands.

Wotus1

Since the Clean Water Rule was finalized in 2015, its implementation has been influenced both by the courts and administrative actions. Following issuance of the 2015 Clean Water Rule, industry groups, more than half the states, and several environmental groups filed lawsuits challenging the rule in multiple federal district and appeals courts. A federal appeals court ordered a nationwide stay of the 2015 Clean Water Rule in October 2015 and later ruled that it had jurisdiction to hear consolidated challenges to the rule. In January 2018, the Supreme Court unanimously held that federal district courts, rather than appellate courts, are the proper forum for filing challenges to the 2015 Clean Water Rule. As a result, the appeals court vacated its nationwide stay. Three district courts have issued preliminary injunctions on the 2015 Clean Water Rule effective in the states challenging the rule in those courts. Accordingly, the 2015 Clean Water Rule is currently enjoined in 28 states and in effect in 22 states. In states where the 2015 Clean Water Rule is enjoined, regulations promulgated by the Corps and EPA in 1986 and 1988, respectively, are in effect.

Wotus2

The Trump Administration has taken actions to delay implementation of the 2015 Clean Water Rule and rescind and replace it:

  •   In February 2018, the Corps and EPA published a rule that added an “applicability date” to the 2015 Clean Water Rule delaying implementation until February 2020. However, environmental groups and states filed lawsuits challenging the 2018 Applicability Date Rule, and in August 2018, a district court issued a nationwide injunction.

  •   The Trump Administration has also taken steps to rescind and replace the 2015 Clean Water Rule. In February 2017, President Trump issued Executive Order 13778 directing the Corps and EPA to review and rescind or revise the rule and to consider interpreting the term navigable waters in a manner consistent withJustice Scalia’s opinion in Rapanos, which proposed a narrower test for determining WOTUS. In July 2017, the Corps and EPA published a proposed rule that would “initiate the first step in a comprehensive,two-step process intended to review and revise the definition of ‘waters of the United States’ consistentwith the Executive Order.” The proposed step-one rule would rescind the 2015 Clean Water Rule and re- codify the regulatory definition of WOTUS as it existed prior to the rule. In July 2018, the agencies published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking to solicit comment on additional considerationssupporting the agencies’ proposed repeal. A final step-one rule has not been issued. According to a statement reportedly made by the acting EPA Administrator on October 2, 2018, the agency planned to release a proposal for the step-two replacement rule sometime “over the next 30 days or so.”

    In the 115th Congress, some Members have introduced free-standing legislation and provisions within appropriations bills that would either repeal the 2015 Clean Water Rule, allow the Corps and EPA to withdraw the rule without regard to the Administrative Procedures Act, or amend the definition of navigable waters in the CWA. Two bills—H.R. 2 and H.R. 6147—have each passed the House and Senate in different forms. The House-passed versions of both bills would repeal the 2015 Clean Water Rule, while the Senate-passed versions of both bills do not include such provisions.

TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 1 - 7 December 2018

New book from Eric P. Perramond: 'Unsettled Waters: Rights, Law, and Identity in the American West' .

From the book's website:

EricIn the American West, water adjudication lawsuits are adversarial, expensive, and lengthy. Unsettled Waters is the first detailed study of water adjudications in New Mexico. The state envisioned adjudication as a straightforward accounting of water rights as private property. However, adjudication resurfaced tensions and created conflicts among water sovereigns at multiple scales. Based on more than ten years of fieldwork, this book tells a fascinating story of resistance involving communal water cultures, Native rights and cleaved identities, clashing experts, and unintended outcomes. Whether the state can alter adjudications to meet the water demands in the twenty-first century will have serious consequences.

Looks good - I've got my copy.
