Workshop on Addressing the Environmental Health Impacts of Climate Change on Private Drinking Water Systems and Private Wells
Climate change impacts groundwater quantity and quality through increased variability in precipitation and frequency of extreme weather events. There is a need for resources that highlight the impact of climate change on groundwater, especially for private domestic drinking water wells, that consider relevant regional vulnerabilities such as saltwater intrusion, groundwater depletion, and enhanced microbiological contamination of groundwater.
