The study examined groundwater governance in Khon Kaen, an urbanizing city, considering climate and anthropogenic pressure on groundwater level and extraction, water-saving behavior, policy, and institutional responses over time. Theory of planned behavior, OECD Water Governance Framework, Trend analysis, Confirmatory factor analysis, Probit regression, and Structural Equation Modelling were applied. The findings suggested adaptive groundwater governance for dynamic socio-economic development and climate change.
Congratulations, Dr. Preeyaporn Muenratch!
