- Additional information
- Published in the leading international journal for environmental science and engineering, this work demonstrates how a group of internationally-renowned water scientists and engineers collectively drew upon a truly global dataset to demonstrate the impacts of climate, land use and chemistry on groundwater quality. The work predicts significant deterioration in groundwater quality. Crucially linking fundamental science with engineering, the work evaluates and presents the anticipated significant increase in treatment costs arising from this poorer water quality, emphasising the detrimental impact of climate change on natural resources.
