Importance of groundwater

Globally, groundwater provides ~ 50% of current potable water supplies (serving nearly 2 billion people) ~ 40% of self-supplied industry ~ 20% of water use in irrigation Asia and the Pacific, groundwater

Asia and the Pacific, groundwater provides drinking water to nearly 32% of population serves as a major source of irrigation water use

  • ~ 60% of the total agricultural water use in India
  • ~ 50%, 50%, 65% and 70% of total agriculture water supply in

Shangdong, Henan, Beijing and Hebei provinces of China resp.

  • > 40% of crop water requirement in Pakistan Punjab

contributes to industrial water use

  • ~ 82% in Metro Manila (Philippines), 80% in Bandung (Indonesia),

60% in Bangkok (Thailand), 57% in Ho Chi Minh City(Vietnam), 15% in Tianjin (China)

Groundwater use trends in Asia Philippines: Industrial and domestic use increased annually by 14% and 11.5% resp. (1988-2001) Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: Groundwater withdrawal steadily increases, 34% of total demand

Groundwater management challenges

Depletion in groundwater table and land subsidence due to over extraction

  • f groundwater

In China, groundwater level has declined in 30% 194 key cities in regions monitored (WEPA, 2007). In Manila Philippines, groundwater abstraction has lowered groundwater table by 2.4m per year.

In Manila, Philippines Cl level in some parts exceeds 17,000mg/l In S.Korea (west), 5% of wells within 10Km from coast with Cl level above standards In Lamphun province of Thailand, fluoride concentration is up to 15mg/l as against standard of 0.7mg/l In Tianjin, groundwater contains high concentration of fluoride and dental floursis rate is 41% in urban area (Xu et al. 2008)

Climate change and its impacts on groundwater resources

Shift in precipitation ultimately shift in water balance of aquifer by increase or decrease of recharge.

Shift in precipitation also make surface water more unreliable which may force to development

  • f groundwater resources.

Sea level rise is expected due to melting of ice sheets and glaciers as a result of global temperature rise. Rise in sea level would allow saltwater to penetrate farther inland and upstream in low lying river deltas (IPCC, 1998).
