As a professional basic course for the undergraduate specialty of groundwater science and engineering, “Groundwater Hydrology” has some practical teaching problems, such as low integration of production and practice, integration of ideological and political elements into the teaching content, which is not broad in scope, profound in content and rich in form. China has promulgated the first special administrative regulation on groundwater management, the regulations on Groundwater Management, which has been implemented since December 1, 2021, and provides many basic knowledge related to groundwater hydrology courses at the provincial level. Therefore, we should carry out in-depth research on groundwater science, education and teaching, and integrate the legal elements in groundwater policies and regulations into the teaching of groundwater hydrology. It is of great significance to stimulate students’ interest and enthusiasm in the study of groundwater science, enhance students’ awareness and sense of belonging to this major, promote the rational development and utilization of groundwater resources, and ensure national water security. This paper extracts relevant legal elements from the groundwater overdraft clause and the legal liability clause in the Groundwater Management Regulations, and combines them with the relevant scientific concepts in the Groundwater Hydrology to elaborate the ways and methods of exploring and practicing the integration of legal elements into the teaching of the Groundwater Hydrology course. The relevant methods can provide reference for the teaching of this course.
