Groundwater resources under stress caused by global change
Groundwater has very important social, environmental and economic values essential for sustainable development. It is the primary source of drinking water for more than 1.5 billion people worldwide. In this paper groundwater problems caused by global change (climate change and/or variability and anthropogenic interventions) in urban and karst areas are discussed. Groundwater has become an increasingly crucial issue facing many cities around on the planet today. Rapid population growth followed by uncontrolled spreading of urbanized areas leads to growing pressure on quantity and quality of groundwater resources. Abrupt changes of local, regional and maybe global natural and human induced hydrological and hydrogeological processes deeply and dangerously affect associated ecosystems. Essential element of sustainable groundwater management is differentiating between climate change and human impacts on groundwater quality and quantity. It seems that human interventions on the groundwater resources are likely to be more important than climate change in the foreseeable future.
