Summary:This article focuses on the governance dynamics of groundwater which means a change of structure and function of groundwater governance over time. Based on a change (multiple stratification) of policy agenda on groundwater in Japan, we suggest that social value of groundwater is a key concept to grasp related cases comprehensively. The types of reaction to social value include countermeasures against social loss, avoidance of social loss and creation of social value. We clarify the degree of groundwater governance is stronger with expansion of those types of social value. A change of groundwater management is another topic, we clarify how that change reflects the characteristics of groundwater governance which consist of multi-actor, multi-level and policy mix through some case studies of groundwater infrastructure.
