%X This master thesis explores the common groundwater issues namely groundwater table depletion and groundwater quality degradation by taking Karo regency as case study. Land subsidence, infrastructure damages and health problems are some of negative impacts that have been perceived in Karo. To improve groundwater governance in Karo, this research used comparative analysis as method. The selected donor regions are Bandung, Bangkok and Tianjin. The strategies proposed in this research are distinguished into three categories namely regulatory, economic and other or supporting instruments. Moreover, the most important lesson to be learned in this research is that groundwater governance cannot be carried out within the regulatory or economic approach alone, but rather requires a comprehensive systems approach.
