Abstract

In recent decades, groundwater is negatively influenced by changes in climate, hydrological, geological, and social processes. Frequent changes in rainfall pattern and temperature directly affect the groundwater resources, which ultimately leads to depletion of aquifers. Till date, the impact of climate change on groundwater systems is largely unknown and unexposed. By considering the above fact, it is important to quantify the influence of climatic conditions on groundwater quantity and quality for a baseline study of groundwater systems under different climatic conditions. This research gap can be fulfilled through several groundwater vulnerability assessment techniques such as climate models, GRACE satellite data, statistical analysis, and overlay/index methods. Hence, this chapter provides an overview of the link between climate change and groundwater and assessment techniques to measure groundwater vulnerability.
