The impacts of climate change on agriculture and food production in Southeast Asia will be largely mediated through water, but climate is only one driver of change. Water resources in the region will be shaped by a complex mixture of social, economic and environmental factors. This report reviews the current status and trends in water management in the Greater Mekong Subregion; assesses likely impacts of climate change on water resources to 2050; examines water management strategies in the context of climate and other changes; and identifies priority actions for governments and communities to improve resilience of the water sector and safeguard food production.

In regions with frequent water stress and large aquifer systems groundwater is often used as an additional water source. If groundwater abstraction exceeds the natural groundwater recharge for extensive areas and long times, overexploitation or persistent groundwater depletion occurs. Here we provide a global overview of groundwater depletion (here defined as abstraction in excess of recharge) by assessing groundwater recharge with a global hydrological model and subtracting estimates of groundwater abstraction. Restricting our analysis to sub-humid to arid areas we estimate the total global groundwater depletion to have increased from 126 (±32) km3 a-1 in 1960 to 283 (±40) km3 a-1 in 2000. The latter equals 39 (±10)% of the global yearly groundwater abstraction, 2 (±0.6)% of the global yearly groundwater recharge, 0.8 (±0.1)% of the global yearly continental runoff and 0.4 (±0.06)% of the global yearly evaporation, contributing a considerable amount of 0.8 (±0.1) mm a-1 to current sea-level rise.

Seawater intrusion (SWI) causes degradation of water quality and loss of water security in coastal aquifers. Although the threat of SWI has been reported in all of the Australian states and the Northern Territory, comprehensive investigations of SWI are relatively uncommon because SWI is a complex process that can be difficult and expensive to characterise. The current study involves the application of a first-order method developed recently by Werner et al. (Ground Water 50(1):48–58, 2012) for rapidly assessing SWI vulnerability. The method improves on previous approaches for the rapid assessment of large-scale SWI vulnerability, because it is theoretically based and requires limited data, although it has not been widely applied. In this study, the Werner et al. (Ground Water 50(1):48–58, 2012) method is applied to the Willunga Basin, South Australia to explore SWI vulnerability arising from extraction, recharge change and sea-level rise (SLR). The Willunga Basin is a multi-aquifer system comprising the unconfined Quaternary (Qa) aquifer, confined Port Willunga Formation (PWF) aquifer and confined Maslin Sands (MS) aquifer. Groundwater is extracted from the PWF and MS aquifers for irrigated agriculture. In the Qa aquifer, the extent of SWI under current conditions was found to be small and SWI vulnerability, in general, was relatively low. For the PWF, SWI extent was found to be large and SWI is likely to be active due to change in heads since pre-development. Anecdotal evidence from recent drilling in the PWF suggests a seawater wedge at least 2 km from the coast. A relatively high vulnerability to future stresses was determined for the PWF, with key SWI drivers being SLR (under head-controlled conditions, which occur when pumping controls aquifer heads) and changes in flows at the inland boundary (as might occur if extraction increases). The MS aquifer was found to be highly vulnerable because it has unstable interface conditions, with active SWI likely. Limitations of the vulnerability indicators method, associated with the sharp-interface and steady-state assumptions, are addressed using numerical modelling to explore transient, dispersive SWI caused by SLR of 0.88 m. Both instantaneous and gradual (linear rise over 90 years) SLR impacts are evaluated for the Qa and PWF aquifers. A maximum change in wedge toe of 50 m occurred within 40 years (for instantaneous SLR) and 100 years (for gradual SLR) in the Qa. In the PWF, change in wedge toe was about 410 and 230 m after 100 years, for instantaneous and gradual SLR, respectively. Steady state had not been reached after 450 years in the PWF. Analysis of SLR in the MS was not possible due to unstable interface conditions. In general, results of this study highlight the need for further detailed investigation of SWI in the PWF and MS aquifers. Establishing the extent of SWI under current conditions is the main priority for both the PWF and MS aquifers. An important element of this involves research into the offshore extent of these aquifers. Further, predictions of SWI in the PWF should consider future extraction and SLR scenarios in the first instance. A field-based investigation of the Willunga aquifer is ongoing, and the current study provides guidance for well installation and for future data collection.

The restricted nature of naturally-occurring freshwater resources on atolls is one of the greatest impediments to human settlement on these small, dispersed and remote islands. Any anthropogenic or environmental pressures that deleteriously affect the quantity or quality of atoll water resources are therefore a matter of concern. This chapter focuses on such issues. It first presents an overview of the principal characteristics of atoll fresh groundwater aquifers, which exist in the form of thin lenses within the Holocene sands and gravels that comprise the sedimentary substrate of low-lying atoll islets. Factors that influence the vulnerability of these freshwater lenses are then considered. The chapter continues by summarising the findings of recent studies that investigated the effects of storm-wave washover across atoll islets on freshwater lens profiles, and the subsequent patterns of recovery over time. Both field and modelling approaches are used. Combined results suggest that following groundwater salinisation by seawater intrusion, at least a year is required for full aquifer recovery. Of particular interest, it is found that in spite of a strong saline plume forming at relatively shallow depths, a thin horizon of freshwater sometimes remains preserved deeper within the aquifer profile for several months after the initial disturbance. In the Pacific basin, shifting geographical patterns in severe tropical storm events related to climatic variability and change are a threat to the continuing viability of atoll fresh groundwater resources and the human populations dependent upon them.
