Groundwater resources assessment as a contribution to the TDA, including surface water - groundwater interactions and groundwater dependent ecosystem in the Baikal Basin (UNESCO 1.3) http://baikal.iwlearn.org/en/results/unesco-1.3 The scope of this project under the Output 1.3 is to study transboundary groundwater resources in shallow aquifers in the Baikal Basin, with special regard to:

  • Sustainable, integrated management of groundwater and surface water and environmentally sound water protection policy considering ethical, religious and cultural traditions of local societies.
  • Increasing water demand for drinking and other purposes and potential impacts of excessive groundwater exploitation (e.g. groundwater level decline, loss of base flow, land subsidence).
  • Pollution threats to groundwater quality (in close cooperation with Output 1.4).
  • Vulnerability of groundwater and groundwater dependent ecosystems.
  • Advantages of conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water for social and economic development.
  • Influence of the present status of land use and land use planning on groundwater resources quantity and quality.
  • Potential impact of climate variability and change on different type of aquifers (shallow, karstic, deep) and on frequency and extent of natural disasters (floods, droughts, storms, earthquakes).
