摘要： 随着世界范围内地下水枯竭和地下水的广泛应用，特别是干旱、半干旱地区的灌溉用水和市政用水对于地下水资源需求的增大，我们尚未找到针对地下水资源可持续发展的有效途径。地下水资源的管理缺失不仅会造成严重的地下水污染问题，也会对当前以及未来的供水问题造成影响。本文没有提出一个解决方案，而是仔细研究经济学观点，比如资源有限理论（过度开采）；研究融合各种地下水可持续发展新思路的优化方法；研究人口增长的影响，包括短期和长期的影响结果；以及考虑多目标综合因素。地下水足迹、地下水二次利用以及水安全问题没有被列入到衡量地下水可持续发展的标准中。开发一种可持续发展的指标参数的思路也应该被列入优化范围。同时，传统知识中对于发达地区和欠发达地区方法论的运用，也应该被考虑到，以实现地下水可持续发展

Abstract：With the worldwide depletion of groundwater and the intensified use around the world, particularly in many arid and semi-arid regions for irrigation and municipal use, there is no satisfactory approach to groundwater sustainability. The lack of and miss-management of this valuable resource has not only created serious groundwater pollution problems but has created present and/or future water supply problems. This paper does not present a solution, but instead examines economic ideas such as exhaustible resource theory (over exploitation), and optimization methodologies that can incorporate new ideas of groundwater sustainability, population growth constraints, include both short term and long term consequences, and consider multi-objectives. Concepts of groundwater footprint, recharge, and safe yield are discarded as concepts for measuring groundwater sustainability. The concept of developing a sustainability index that could also be used within the context of optimization is introduced. Also the concepts of traditional knowledge are discussed with the emphasis on the use of these methodologies for both developed and developing regions of the world to achieve groundwater sustainability.
