Groundwater resources, climate and vulnerability

Water resources, climate change and human vulnerability

It is well recognised today that climate change is affecting the Earth’s physical and biological systems, and is expected to do so on forthcoming decadal to century timescales. A need exists for useable predictions of the impacts associated with such climate change, and the likely societal responses to these. This must also be seen in the context of other drivers of global change, and be presen...

Vulnerability of Groundwater Resources Selected for Emergency Water Supply

Paper is dealing with vulnerability concerning elements of hydrological structures and elements of technological equipments which are acceptable for groundwater resources. The vulnerability assessment stems from the application of the register of hazards and a potential threat to individual water source elements within each type of hazard. The proposed procedure is pattern for assessing the ris...

Global water resources: vulnerability from climate change and population growth.

The future adequacy of freshwater resources is difficult to assess, owing to a complex and rapidly changing geography of water supply and use. Numerical experiments combining climate model outputs, water budgets, and socioeconomic information along digitized river networks demonstrate that (i) a large proportion of the world's population is currently experiencing water stress and (ii) rising wa...

Assessing Vulnerability of Groundwater

investigation of nitrate concentrations in groundwater resources of marand plain and groundwater vulnerability assessment using avi and gods methods

introduction more than 90% of drinking water in cities around the world and about 40% of the agricultural water supply from groundwater resources.,thus, groundwater quality consideration issue is inevitable . one of the most important parameter which can show the quality of drinking water is nitrate concentration. nitrate enters the groundwater and surface water through the decomposition of hum...
