DESCRIPTION:Collective Aquifer Governance: It’s the Water\, and a Whole L
 ot More\n\nAquifers are a whole lot more than groundwater. Aquifers are co
 mposed of many kinds of different resources\, including storage space\, ge
 othermal energy\, surface interactions\, and various minerals. However\, u
 nlike these resources\, groundwater is treated as something different. The
  transition from groundwater management to groundwater governance expanded
  the role of social engagement with agencies and institutions regulating g
 roundwater. There is an emerging need to move from groundwater governance 
 into aquifer governance. The transition requires a reevaluation of the pub
 lic-private dichotomy in aquifers\, as aquifer pore spaces may likely be p
 rivate property\, while groundwater is often publicly owned. The top-down 
 regulatory model may not be adequate to deal with the complex and mysterio
 us aquifer system. A middle path could be used that combines public and pr
 ivate rights: collective governance. No examples of collective aquifer gov
 ernance exist. However\, unitization contracts used in the oil and gas ind
 ustry can provide a robust model of collectively governing subsurface reso
 urces\, including incorporating the complex dynamics of subsurface systems
 . This paper explores the implications of the transition to aquifer govern
 ance\, including a review of case studies showing a distinct direction in 
 governance development. Unitization contracts are introduced\, translated 
 into the aquifer context\, and applied to an example basin: the Harney Val
 ley of Oregon.\n\nMajor Advisor: Todd Jarvis\nCommittee: Michael Campana\n
