“…Climate change and biodiversity crisis issues have a particularly large impact on water, aquatic ecosystems and wet habitats such as oceanic biotopes [36], surface freshwater [37,38], or groundwater [39]. The state of river water vegetation also has a fundamental effect on animal communities [40].…”

Additional information is available at the end of the chapterPure and applied biogeography is the study of the spatial and temporal distribution of taxa, life forms, communities, biomes, and natural or human-influenced ecosystems of our planet in large scales.Biogeography is one of the oldest life sciences, because already since Alexander von Humboldt's work (1769-1859) it has been a theoretically grounded discipline.Phytogeography and zoogeography are classical subdisciplines of biogeography that study the spatial and temporal distribution of plants and animals, the flora and fauna. Also impor- However, many new theoretical trends have emerged recently [14,15], a number of new methods are used [16], and biogeography has gained outstanding social significance through the effects of human land use on natural communities [17].

“…Increased daily temperatures from 1.1 to 6.4 C can decrease the cumulative groundwater recharge due to reduced water use efficiency by the crops (Ficklin et al 2010). Kambale et al (2017) projected temperatures 2100s and 2030s, respectively. Meanwhile, the HYDRUS-1D model could provide better insight into groundwater recharge simulation, including capillary rise, hysteresis, preferential flow, subsurface lateral flow, and surface outflow for spatial water processes (vadose zone process or data) (Tenreiro et al 2020).…”

Cotton crop is one of the major water consumers in the Indus basin region. Accurate groundwater recharge estimation is a provoking duty due to hydrologic and environmental applications under climate change in the agricultural sector. An utmost region that is vulnerable to climate change and cotton production is declining, consequently. Here, historical trends (1975–2005) and future variability (2021-50 and 2051-80) of climate parameters were analyzed and predicted by SDSM for three emission scenarios (RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5, and RCP 8.5) for the semi-arid region Faisalabad, Pakistan. Results revealed a rise in maximum (minimum) temperature and a decline in rainfall, relative humidity, and wind speed for both 2021-50 and 2051-80 using different NCEP parameters (p < 0.05). The groundwater recharge was simulated using the Hydrus-1D unsaturated flow model. Hydrus-1D unsaturated flow model simulated the groundwater recharge under six treatments. A 41 cm reduction of groundwater recharge was observed under all scenarios. The highest recharge was observed 71 cm under RCP 2.6, and the lowest recharge was 30 cm under RCP 8.5, a maximum of 23% groundwater recharge controlled by climate variables with the weak relationship among them. Cotton sowing method T6(bed planting without mulch) showed the highest yield (1,066 kg.ha− 1). It further indicates that rather than climate change, the agronomical practice may have a more significant impact on groundwater recharge and cotton yield. Findings highlight the significance of both climate change and the cotton sowing method while accessing future water resources in irrigated Indus basin agriculture.

“…Kambale, Singh, and Sarangi () using HYDRUS‐1D and MODFLOW models evaluated the impact of climate change on groundwater recharge under various climate change scenarios for an agriculturally dominant semiarid region in India. Results of this study indicated that the average groundwater recharge during 2030s may increase by 0.03 m compared with 2005 if simulations were based on autoregressive integrated moving average scenario.…”

Recently, many studies have investigated the effect of climate change on groundwater resources in semiarid and arid areas and have shown adverse effects on groundwater recharge and water level. However, only a few studies have shown suitable strategies for reducing these adverse effects. In this study, climate conditions were predicted for the future period of 2020-2044, under the emission scenarios of RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5, for Isfahan-Borkhar aquifer, Isfahan, Iran, using MODFLOW-2000 (MODFLOW is United States Geological Survey product). Results showed that the average groundwater level of the aquifer would decrease to 13, 15, and 16 m in 2012 to 2044 approximately under RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 scenarios, respectively. Then, three groundwater sustainability management scenarios were defined that included 10%, 30%, and 50% reduction in groundwater extraction. These strategies simulated the reduced negative effects of climate change on the aquifer.The results showed that decreases in water withdrawal rates of 10%, 30%, and 50% under RCP8.5 scenario (critical scenario) could decrease the mean groundwater level by 14, 11, and 7 m, respectively. The main result of the study showed that 50% reduction in groundwater withdrawal may increase the groundwater levels significantly in order to restore the aquifer sustainability in the study area. In this study, with assuming that the current harvest of wells in the future period is constant, so the results of studies showed that for the aquifer's sustainability management, the water abstraction from the aquifer should reduce up to 50% of the existing wells.Changing the irrigation method from surface to subdroplet irrigation plays an important role in reducing the withdrawal from the aquifer. The results of a study in Iran have shown that the change in the irrigation method from surface to subdroplet irrigation causes a 40% reduction in water use for agriculture.
