Managing groundwater to adapt to climate change

Global warming of +3°C by the end of the century is becoming increasingly probable, which will significantly affect the water cycle. For BRGM, these changes mean that the impacts and corresponding risks need to be assessed, and solutions proposed for monitoring and optimising aquifer recharge and use.

In this context, groundwater quality is also a priority. BRGM is thus conducting research into the processes underlying aquifer resilience in the face of climate change and studying the impact of nature-based solutions, to support sustainable regional water resource management policies.
