Preface
Many areas of the world now face water shortages of varying severity, and water scarcity is being exacerbated by a combination of population growth and economic development. Fresh groundwater resources are under particular stress because of their often high quality, lesser vulnerability to disruptions in supply from short-term climatic variations, and their wide geographic extent that allows for decentralized use. Climate change is expected to impact global precipitation patterns and recharge rates
