Opis

Impact of Climate Change on Groundwater Resources focuses on the impacts of climate change/variability on groundwater storage, recharge, discharge, and groundwater quality, as well as the impacts of sea level changes on groundwater. The knowledge from contemporary field investigations, numerical simulations, satellite data such as GRACE, Paleo-hydrology, historical records, monitoring and modeling studies are reported. This book also examines the assessment of uncertainty in hydrological models that are driven by climate data. This book will integrate the knowledge of the relationships between climate changes/variability and groundwater.
