Groundwater has become a preferable and reliable natural treasure in last decades as an alternative of surface water. This is due to high-demand on water especially after surface resources faced negative impacts under the influence of climate change and contamination exposure. This fact forced the stakeholders and hydrogeologists to seek for another alternative using groundwater resources. The study area (Khazir-Basin) covers about 1055km2. It is located in mountainous-undulating area in Kurdistan Region in NorthernIraq. The average annual temperature and precipitation are 19 Co and 669 mm, respectively. The numerous deep wells have been drilled in the study area during the last 50 years and most of them are penetrating Bakhtiari Formation (the main aquifer) with average depth of 200 m, which mostly consists, in its lower part called Lower Bakhtiari Formation, Sequential layers of gravely sandstone, sandstone and red mudstone, while the upper part, Upper Bakhtiari Formation, consists of conglomerates. This Formation covers over 75% of the study area. The application of groundwater management over the region is facing several obstacles due to the high demand in daily use (domestic, agriculture and industry) and the scarcity of water resources under the effect of climate change as well. Recently, Kurdistan region is challenging two main tasks politically related to the problem of exploitation of transboundary water bodies (rivers) withTurkey and Iran, because all main head waters of rivers are out of Kurdistan Region. The second field of problems to be solved is the socio-economic culture of consumers concerning the miss-obligation toward consuming rules with the absence of installing supply regulators.This paper will discuss the appropriate issues of groundwater management for case study region
