Groundwater plays an important role in the sustainable development of major cities in Asia. The strategic importance of groundwater for city’s water supply will probably intensify under climate change and human development (population growth, urbanization) in future. Therefore, it is imperative to assess the resiliency of groundwater to climate change and human development for strategic planning and management of water resources in urban areas. This project first aims to develop the robust framework to assess the resiliency of the groundwater system. The framework will be developed using several parameters of resiliency. Then the framework will be applied in four Asian cities to map the resiliency of groundwater to climate change and human development. At the end, the project will develop the evidence-based guidance on assessing how groundwater can support adaptation and build resilience to climate change and human development. The outputs of the project will enhance the understanding the impact of climate change and human development on groundwater system and also provide the policy recommendations for sustainable groundwater development and management that will support adaptation and build resilience.
