Summary

Sustainable Asian groundwater perspectives are discussed in this chapter by examining groundwater hydrology in conjunction with oceanographic, geothermal and geodesic aspects. Subsurface environmental changes in Asia due to urbanization and global change include groundwater storage changes as detected by the geodesy satellite GRACE and others. Subsurface warming due to global warming and urbanization is another issue in Asia that is related to geothermal energy sources. Land–ocean interaction and groundwater contaminant loads from land to the ocean in Asia are related to oceanography. The groundwater footprint and integrated water management for sustainability are discussed as a means of transformation to sustainable water use in Asia for the future of the Earth.
