Climate change impact assessment on Veneto and Friuli plain groundwater. Part I: An integrated modeling approach for hazard scenario construction

Climate Change and Its Influence on the Karst Groundwater Recharge in the Jinci Spring Region, Northern China

“…These results reveal that the precipitation test value Z of the study area is less than 0, but it does not pass the significance test level of 0.05, which means the precipitation in the Jinci Spring region from 1960 to 2012 generally shows a declining trend, and the multi-year average declining degree of precipitation is 0.41 mm/a [27].…”

Handling preference heterogeneity for river services’ adaptation to climate change

“…A negative tendency in precipitation levels (about 0.5 mm/day by 2100) is predicted for the region under both A1B and A2 global emission scenarios. Similarly, in the 2071e2100 period, the simulated basin runoff is expected to be reduced by 25e45% compared to the present, particularly during spring, summer and autumn (Baruffi et al, 2012). A slight increase is predicted for the winter season remarkably in the initial stages of the projection period, owing to earlier and higher levels of snowmelt (Baruffi, ibid).…”

“…Likewise with the general Mediterranean trend, Italy is exposed to progressive water scarcity as indicated by past observations and future projections. Over the last five decades, precipitation decreased by 14% along the country while a further fall is the main projection of the IPCC scenarios towards the end of 2060 (Baruffi et al, 2012). The last drought episode in the country during the current decade was ranked in the top ten natural disasters for the period 1900 to 2014, incurring economic damage costs of about 1.2 billion V (CRED, 2005).…”

Preliminary long-term predictive modelling of groundwater resources in view of climate change – a case study from eastern Poland

“…Un der stand ing how cli mate change could af fect groundwa ter sys tems is a vi tal com po nent of sound long-term manage ment of our wa ter sup plies (Earman and Dettinger, 2011). Cli mate change im pacts on ground wa ter (mainly re charge of the re sources) and has been in ves ti gated by var i ous au thors (Ng et al, 2010;Earman and Dettinger, 2011;Jack son et al, 2011;Ali et al, 2012;Baruffi et al, 2012;Hiscock et al, 2012;Tay lor et al, 2012;Emam et al, 2015;Jaworska-Szulc, 2015;Olichwer and Tarka, 2015;Tillman et al, 2016;Malekinezhad and Banadkooki, 2017).
