The Quaternary Aquifer of the North China Plain is one of the world's largest aquifer systems and supports an enormous exploitation of groundwater, which has reaped large socio-economic benefits in terms of grain production. farming employment and rural poverty alleviation. together with urban and industrial water-supply provision. Both population and economic activity have Grown markedly in the past 25 years. Much of this has been heavily dependent upon groundwater resource development. which has encountered increasing difficulties in recent years primarily as a result of aquifer depletion and related phenomena. This paper focuses upon the hydrogeologic and socio-economic diagnosis of these groundwater resource issues, and identifies strategies to improve groundwater resource sustainability.
