Among its consequences are the falling dry of streams and wetlands, soil subsidence, die-off of phreatophytic vegetation, saline water intrusion, increased pumping cost and loss of storage needed for drought relief. Stopping or reversing the trend requires management interventions. The North China Plain serves as an example. A management system is set up for a typical county. It contains three components: monitoring, decision support based on modelling, and implementation in the field. Besides all monitoring data, the decision support module contains an irrigation calculator, a box model, and a distributed groundwater model to project the outcomes of different water allocation scenarios. In view of grain security, a solution combines an adaptation of the cropping system with imports of surface water from the South. The Open Access book does not only describe the problem and the path to its solution. It also gives access to nine manuals concerning methods used. They include computer programs and the game Save the Water. The Chinese experience should be of considerable interest to other regions in the world which suffer from over-pumping of aquifers. 410 0$aSpringer Water 517 $aGroundwater overexploitation in the North China Plain 606 $aHydrology & the hydrosphere$2bicssc 606 $aSustainability$2bicssc 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring$2bicssc 606 $aAnalytical chemistry$2bicssc 606 $aAgricultural science$2bicssc 610 $aGroundwater management 610 $aGroundwater depletion 610 $aGroundwater modelling 610 $aMonitoring of groundwater levels 610 $aPumping tests for monitoring of pumping rates of wells 610 $aSubsidized land fallowing 610 $aGroundwater game app 610 $aSmart metering of pumping wells 610 $aSmart metering of electricity consumption 610 $aSurface water diversion 610 $aDecision support system 610 $aOpen Access 615 7$aHydrology & the hydrosphere 615 7$aSustainability 615 7$aEnvironmental monitoring 615 7$aAnalytical chemistry 615 7$aAgricultural science 686 $aSCI013010$aSCI026000$aSCI081000$aTEC003000$2bisacsh 700 $aKinzelbach$b Wolfgang$0519950 701 $aWang$b Haijing$01238379 701 $aLi$b Yu$01238380 701 $aWang$b Lu$0904559 701 $aLi$b Ning$01217069 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910508445003321 996 $aGroundwater Overexploitation in the North China Plain$92874095 997 $aUNINA
