“…Time series studies of precipitation and soil moisture have demonstrated a strong relationship between the two Mahmood and Hubbard, 2003;Srinivasan et al, 2000;Zhang et al, 1999;Mitchell and Warrilow, 1987). Varanou et al (2002) used GCM to simulate future climate characteristics and predicted, using the SWAT model, decreasing soil moisture and SR due to decreasing summer precipitation in Central Greece in the year 2050. Robock et al (2000) analyzed soil moisture data of more than 15 years from over 600 stations located all over the world under grasslands and agricultural land uses.…”

ABSTRACT. Using the past 45 years of climate data in south-western Ontario, Canada and a deterministic continuous simulation model, this study investigates the long-term variability in rain-fed soil moisture in urban areas as influenced by climate change. Statistical analyses of four variables, i.e., soil moisture, precipitation, temperature and evapotranspiration were carried out. As found from other studies for other locations, these analyses confirm increasing temperatures and average growing season precipitation in south-western Ontario. Results show that both overall soil moisture and evapotranspiration have increased throughout the 45-year period. The probability/frequency distributions of soil moisture were obtained and the analysis shows an increasing average growing season soil moisture availability from the 1960's to the 1990's. The direct influence of precipitation and temperature on soil moisture and evapotranspiration were examined, revealing a stronger relationship of soil moisture and evapotranspiration with precipitation rather than temperature. Overall increasing average growing season soil moistures have very likely resulted from overall increasing rainfall during the growing seasons in south-western Ontario.

“…Climate change will affect river discharges directly through changes in the major long-term climate variables (Scibek et al, 2007;Jyrkama and Sykes, 2007). The impacts of climate change on groundwater has been investigated by many researchers (Loáiciga et al, 2000;Varanou et al, 2002;Brouyère et al, 2004;Allen et al, 2004;Krysanova et al, 2005;Scibek and Allen, 2006;Andersen et al, 2006;Jyrkama and Sykes, 2007) who have largely reported significant impact from climate change on groundwater recharge and its availability in the future. Aquifer systems have greater buffering capacity against droughts and climate fluctuations compared to surface water sources (Dragoni and Sukhija, 2008;Shah, 2009b).…”

Abstract. The basaltic aquifers of the Upper Bhima River basin in southern India are heavily utilized for small-scale agriculture but face increasing demand-related pressures along with uncertainty associated with climate change impacts. To evaluate likely groundwater resource impacts over the coming decades, a regional groundwater flow model for the basin was developed. Model predictions associated with different climate change and abstraction scenarios indicate that the continuation of current rates of abstraction would lead to significant groundwater overdraft, with groundwater elevations predicted to fall by −6 m over the next three decades. Groundwater elevations can however be stabilized, but would require 20-30 % of the mean surface water discharge from the basin to be recharged to groundwater, along with reductions in pumping (5-10 %) brought about by improved water efficiency practices and/or shifts towards lowerwater use crops. Modest reductions in pumping alone cannot stabilize groundwater levels; targeted conjunctive use and improved water use efficiency are also needed.
