Climate Change and Groundwater: Planning and Adaptations for a Changing and Uncertain Future

WSP Methods in Water Resources Evaluation Series No. 6

Authors:

  • Is unique in that it specifically addresses climate change and groundwater from a more applied perspective
  • Provides readers with overviews of key issues (e.g., climate modeling) in a manner understandable to non-climate modelers
  • Offers readers with case studies of key studies of the impacts of climate change on groundwater
  • Presents readers with numerous references to key papers, which would guide your further exploration of each topic
  • Broadens readers' understanding of how water supply planning is actually performed from the perspective of someone who actually performed such planning throughout his career

About this book

This book attempts to bridge the gap between the climate change research and decision-making communities by exploring the impacts of climate change on groundwater from a more applied perspective. Global climate change will impact groundwater demands, quality, and available supplies, and rising sea level may cause water tables to rise, inundating low-lying coastal areas. Groundwater will increasingly be needed to perform a stabilization role in mitigating fluctuations in the supply of surface waters, serving as a buffer against droughts. Climate change has become a frequent subject in the mass media, and the academic literature on the subject is now enormous. An impediment to climate change adaptation with respect to water is a poor link between the climate change research community and the actual decision-makers responsible for water supply planning. Key issues explored are methods for evaluating potential impacts on climate change on local groundwater systems, the adaptation of decision-making process, and how climate change adaptation can be mainstreamed into the water supply planning.
