Climate Change Effects on Groundwater Resources : a Global Synthesis of Findings and Recommendations.
Climate change is expected to modify the hydrological cycle and affect freshwater resources. Groundwater is a critical source of fresh drinking water for almost half of the world's population and it also supplies irrigated agriculture. Groundwater is also important in sustaining streams, lakes,...
