Excerpt

Groundwater is vital to human well-being, providing 2 billion people with drinking water (Morris et al. 2003), supporting $210–$230 billion of annual global output of irrigated agricultural produce (Shah et al. 2007), and controlling the flows of water through the world’s biomes (Alley et al. 2002). Given this importance, it is all the more disappointing that the Fourth Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) still reports that there “has been very little research on the impact of climate change on groundwater” and that “the few studies of climate impacts on groundwater for various aquifers show very site-specific results” (Kundzewicz et al. 2007). To contribute to addressing these perceived shortcomings and to maximize future study value, methodological recommendations are provided here for hydrogeologists to consider in groundwater-related climate change impact and adaptation studies. …
