Climate change affects ground water resource

[keerthi sureshbabu]

• Recharges and formation of new aquifers because of increased incidents of floods
• Ground water with draw/during summer may decrease, however, during the winters; the demand of ground water will increase
• More surface water reservoirs will be required to harness flood waters and will lead to more recharge over longer period.
• Erosion activity will be more
• Evapo-transpiration losses shall be more especially in area where ground water levels are shallow.
• High temperature and decreased precipitation and consequent in melting of glaciers would lead to decreased water supplies and increased water demands, deterioration in the quality of fresh bodies, stretching the fragile balance between supply and demand in many regions apart from the likelihood of increased flooding of low lying areas, intrusion of saline water into estuaries, small islands and coastal aquifers.
Hence proper aquifer management will be required to meet the challenges due to climate changes.

Absolutely right...we know this but greed overtakes us...sad

I completely agree with this, as my thesis also provide positive feedback for this.

Including all these transmission of various diseases also could occurs, due to contaminated groundwater. Particularly chemical and biological contaminants.
