Hi, Ali,

The answer to your question is YES!

Groundwater gets recharge from the water sources above the ground, including surface run-off, rainfall, and snow-melt water, which are all dependant on climate-atmospheric circulation and/or temperature. 

Hope this helps!

Yes, as Dr. Zhonghe mentioned that by increasing sea level and also increasing run-off all of this  can have impact on the surface water which have interactions with ground water.

please see the potential impact of climate change on on groundwater recharge :

Dear Ali,

Climate change is expected to significantly alter the cycle Hydrological regime. There is a broad consensus that its effects will be Felt by humans mainly through its impact on global water resources, including groundwater, and water-related disasters such as floods and droughts. Its direct effects on natural processes (run-off, recharge, storage and quality of groundwater) could be exacerbated by the response of humans to these effects (eg increased water withdrawal due to prolonged and more frequent droughts ). Its effects on Groundwater are therefore closely linked to sustainable development objectives and global drivers of change, including population growth, land-use change and urbanization

Studies show that climate change will have a direct impact on groundwater resources, both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Water recharge of underground aquifers, and more particularly of free water table, is achieved by the infiltration of rainwater. This recharge therefore depends on precipitation. The various climate change studies show, as a general rule, a decrease in precipitation, especially for the summer period. To this would be added an increase in evapotranspiration, which would further decrease the water actually infiltrated. Decreasing the flux entering the system would change the recharging conditions of the hydrogeological systems.

With regard to outflows, there is a close relationship between rivers and underground aquifers. Generally, rivers supply the groundwater in winter and are fed by the latter in summer. If watercourses are expected to have greater periods of low water, then aquifers play a more important role in feeding watercourses. The volume of water coming out of the aquifers would then be greater and spread out over a longer period. In winter or high water, it is the rivers that feed the groundwater. Thus, a decrease in river flows would result in a lower recharge of groundwater in winter.

With my best regards

Absolutely yes and in terms of both quality and quantity

The driving force for the water cycle is the climate which is being control by the elements of weather, the climate is responsible for the circulation of water within the hydrologic cycle which consist of infiltration and peculation components that determine the quantity of water that is present in the subsurface as groundwater.

Surely climate change influences ground water resources. Please have a look at these researchgate links.

Chapter Climate change and its impacts on groundwater resources in M...

Climate change certainly will alter the hydrologic cycle and consequently bring about increase in rainfall as well as rise in sea levels. These will no doubt result in the alteration of ground water resource condition.

The relationship between water, energy, agriculture and climate is a significant one. More and more, that relationship is falling out of balance jeopardizing food, water and energy security. Climate change is a phenomenon we can no longer deny as its effects have become increasingly evident worldwide. On the list of warmest years on record, almost every year since 1992 is included and, according to NASA and NOAA data, 2015 was the hottest.

As the earth's temperature continues to rise, we can expect a significant impact on our fresh water supplies with the potential for devastating effects on these resources.  As temperatures increase, evaporation increases, sometimes resulting in droughts. The US is currently in one of the most severe, multi-state, multi-year droughts in decades. 

In addition, rising temperatures are melting glacial ice at an unprecedented rate. Glaciers are an important source of freshwater worldwide, and some, like those at Glacier National Park, are in danger of disappearing within the 21st century.  Once these glaciers have melted away, they can't be restored. Areas that previously depended on glaciers for freshwater will then have to seek other sources.

More than 50 percent of the world's freshwater comes from mountain runoff and snowmelt.

Complicating this potential outcome is the prediction that in a warmer environment, more precipitation will occur as rain rather than snow. Although more rain than snow may seem like a plus, it could mean more frequent water shortages. When snow and ice collect on mountaintops, water is released slowly into reservoirs as it melts throughout the spring and summer. When rain falls, reservoirs fill quickly to capacity in the winter, which can also result in excess water runoff that can't be stored. Because rain flows faster than melting snow, higher levels of soil moisture and groundwater recharge are less likely to occur. Areas that rely on snowmelt as their primary freshwater source could increasingly experience water shortages, like having low water supplies by summer's end.

The relationship between climate change and water doesn't end there. The systems used to treat and move public water supplies require large amounts of energy, produced mainly by burning coal, natural gas, oil and other fossil fuels. So, when we use water we also use energy and contribute to climate change. In addition, bottled water is a small but real contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, because it takes fuel to make plastic bottles and ship them around the country (and even the world). This is unnecessary when you consider that bottled water is often just filtered tap water.

There's a lot we can do to reduce emissions, prevent climate change and protect our threatened freshwater sources. Using less energy is a great place to start. This can be done by turning off lights, better insulating our homes to conserve heat and air conditioning, driving more fuel efficient cars and driving less. Cars and light trucks (like vans and SUVs) are responsible for about 20 percent of U.S. energy-related carbon emissions. In addition, eating lower on the food chain, even going meatless just one day a week can have a significant impact on environmental resources because industrial meat production has significant greenhouse gas emissions associated with it.

Conserving water, food and other resources is an important step towards reducing overall energy use, because most everything that is made, transported and thrown away requires the use of fuel and water. By carpooling, using public transportation, driving less, and reducing our consumption of food and consumer goods, each individual can make an impact on curbing greenhouse gases.

Yes..sure..

Yes, high temperature, high intensity rainfall in short period of time may affect badly on ground water resources.

Recharge to groundwater system is from rainfall (intensity & duration). One of the main factors of climate change is temperature, which is the driving force for water to evaporate and consolidate in the atmosphere and return to earth as rainfall/precipitation. This means any climatic change will affect the functions of hydrologic cycle. Reduction in rainfall intensity or duration due to rise in temperature certainly have an negative impact on groundwater potential. 

Thank you so much dear researchers and friends. 

Yes climate change has an impact on groundwater. However, the smaller details depend on the specific situation. On atolls e.g. fresh water is swimming above the salt water as a lense. When the sea level in increasing (climate change) and at the same time population growth cause higher water withdrawal then the freshwater can become brackish.... Similar to other forms of groundwater: replenishment plays an important role and when local climates become drier groundwater reseources can become effected. I might be able to get softcopies of the publications below....

Climate change has a large-scale disturbance on drought propagation, impacting groundwater resources because of high temperature, and change in evaporation and precipitation. Temperature has a main indirect impact on aquifers. It contributes to soil moisture reduction for plant growth, so it heightens over-exploitation from surface and subsurface water supplies in order to face with agricultural drought. Therefore, the drought effects on groundwater are strongly related to both human land and water uses.

Hi Ali Hamidoghli

Climate change is an important factor in the hydrological cycle. Climate models indicate an increase in temperature and reduction in rainfall for all seasons that will be in year 2050, compared with year 1990.

Rainfall is one of the most important climatic variables that has a direct impact on aquifer recharge. Annual and seasonal rainfall and temperature are influenced by the climatic variability and change.

Thanks for the thoughtful answers

Thanks, dear Dr. Vahabzadeh for the useful answer.

Yes it affects the groundwater by it's negative impact on soil filtration and raising temperature degrees which reduce the amount of groundwater
