Sustainable AQUIfer recharge to enhance resilience of GROundWater services under increased drought risk

Abstract - 

Future climate, trends in population growth and land use changes are likely to exacerbate the risks associated with environmental and human water security in many parts of the world. For instance, the occurrence of drought events is increasing globally, as shown by recent major droughts in Europe and South Africa, which seriously jeopardized secure access to water resources, not only for human consumption and irrigation, but also for industrial uses and ecological functions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to devise methods to increase the resilience of water supply systems in the face of increasing drought risk. [...]
