"This book collects recent and original contributions in the field of climate and underlying human influences on renewable groundwater resources and/or stream–aquifer interactions. The readers can find the contributions both interesting and inspiring when exploring the field of impacts of climate (past, current, and future) on natural, premeditated, and unpremeditated aquifer recharge sources determining the renewable fraction of the groundwater resource. The findings and methods presented in these original contributions will be of interest in some associated problematics concerning stream–aquifer interactions in drylands and mountainous areas, the resilience of groundwater-dependent ecosystems to future climate change and human action, land-subsidence problems in the future, and the influence of climate change on groundwater resources availability and its implication for sustainable groundwater management policies ahead. The Editors envision that these contributions would also be of interest to researchers and practitioners and help identify further research routes."
