Abstract
Sustainable groundwater use is discussed in terms of the balance between risks and services, including adaptation to climate change. Groundwater, with its longer residence time of water circulation, can be an alternative water resource and environment under climate change. Assessments of groundwater services and benefit as well as risk are important for sustainable groundwater use under climate change conditions. Groundwater, which is one of the keys of adaptation to climate change, should be treated as a common resource and environment beyond the tragedy of the commons and the dilemma of boundaries.
