Abstract :
Climate change is normally defined as any change in climate over time, whether due to natural variability or from human activities. It poses uncertainties to the supply and management of water resources. Although climate change has been widely recognized, research on the effects of climate change on groundwater system is relatively limited. Groundwater resources are related to climate change through the direct interaction with surface water resources, such as lakes and rivers, and indirectly through the recharge process. This article presents the likely effects of climate change on groundwater resources
and methodology to assess the impact of climate change on groundwater resources.
