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...

Climate change impact on groundwater recharge and suggested adaptation strategies for selected Asian cities

Currently, 54% of the world’s population lives in urban areas, and this figure is expected to increase to 66% by 2050. Major cities and municipalities in the region rely either wholly or partially on groundwater. Four Asian cities, namely Bangkok, Bandung, Ho Chi Minh City, and Lahore, are selected for the study as their groundwater...
