AbstractThe National Energy Authority of Iceland (NEA) plays a crucial role in managing the nation's abundant groundwater resources, vital for both domestic consumption and industrial applications. In response to evolving challenges and increasing demands, the NEA has embarked on a comprehensive revision of groundwater governance frameworks, with particular emphasis on licensing procedures and monitoring mechanisms. This abstract highlights the key aspects of the NEA's initiative and its implications for sustainable groundwater management.
