The research results showed that, from 2001 to 2010, groundwater level has been declining rapidly in upper-Pleistocen and lowerPleistocen, in which, lower-Pleistocen was the highest declining with average speed (-0,39 m/year). From 2010 to 2013, groundwater level trends stabilize. The groundwater management policy for groundwater exploited license and adjourn groundwater exploited license were shown integrity and unity. However, effective enforcement is not high appreciation due to lack of human resource management without water resources management major. Local staffs manage not only groundwater resources but also mineral resources, hydrometeorology, climate change. Due to expert’opinion, department of environment and Natural resources need high quality staffs with major in Water Resources Engineering, Hydrogeology. Besides, exploited violations have been popularized, especially, lack of exploited groundwater license. Penance violations were showed both integrity and concretize due to Viet Nam water resources law. According to expert’opinion, Punishment is enough for dissuasive groundwater overexploitation.
