Mapping groundwater resilience to climate change and human development in Asian cities

Groundwater resources in major Asian cities, including Bangkok and its vicinity, Ho Chi Minh City, Kathmandu Valley, and Lahore, confront escalating challenges due to climate change and human development. Over-extraction has led to groundwater depletion, causing socio-environmental and economic issues. This study investigates the combined impacts of climate change and urban development on groundwater resources...

An integrated assessment of climate‑affected long‑term water availability and its impacts on energy security in the Ganges sub‑basins

The Ganges basin provides essential water for drinking, irrigation, industrial use and power generation. Global climate change will affect the water availability in the basin and inevitably intensify the competition for water among major users, particularly from thermal power generation. Knowledge on the spatial distribution of water supply-demand gaps and the water stress for meeting...
