Groundwater resources in the Indo-Gangetic Basin : resilience to climate and abstraction : project workshop meeting, Delhi, 4-7 November 2013

This report is an output from the project Groundwater resilience to climate change and abstraction in the Indo-Gangetic basin Groundwater resilience to climate change and abstraction in the Indo-Gangetic basin is a two-year (2012-14) DFID-funded research project strengthening the evidence-base linking groundwater resources, climate variability and abstraction in the Indo-Gangetic basin. This project has been commissioned by the DFID South Asia research hub and is led by the British Geological Survey. The project has two main aims:  To develop a strategic overview assessment of the occurrence and status of groundwater resources in the Indo-Gangetic basin and develop a map of groundwater typologies spanning the groundwater system  To strengthen the evidence-base linking groundwater resources, climate and abstraction through a series of four targeted case studies in the basin. The project team involves researchers from the British Geological Survey, IIT Kharagpur, ISET-Nepal, ISET International, Meta-Meta, National Institute of Hydrology (Roorkee), Overseas Development Institute, University College London, University of Dhaka and Bangladesh Water Development Board. http://www.bgs.ac.uk/research/groundwater/international/SEAsiaGroundwater/
