Modelling the impact of climate change on groundwater in the UK. Stage 1, background, literature and available data review and selection of modelling techniques
This report describes the background to and initial work on the joint BGS-CEH project
“Modelling the impact of climate change on groundwater in the UK”. The project aims to
develop a flexible modelling methodology for assessing the impacts of climate change on
groundwater resources at various scales. An overview of the current state of the art in developing
future climate change scenarios is given. The relationships between groundwater and climatic
conditions are discussed. Previous work on groundwater and climate change is reviewed. A set
of four modelling approaches is selected to develop during the current project for application
with future climatic data. Data requirements for groundwater modelling are considered. An
overview of the hydrogeological characteristics of the major UK aquifers is given. A scheme of
work is specified
