The paper reviews the existing tools methods and general literature which deal with the construction of climate change (CC) scenarios and with the assessment of impacts of these scenarios on water resources. It further examines the existing CC predictions specific to Morocco. The paper further describes the publicly available hydrometeorological time series data, which could be used to quantify the future CC scenarios for a river basin in Morocco (Oum er Rbia) and a smaller irrigation scheme within it (Tadla), located in the western part of the country. The data indicates that the impact of future CC on water resources at smaller scales such as smaller river basins, specific water resources and irrigation systems has to date not been properly addressed and, therefore, constitutes a niche for immediate research. This is, especially relevant in areas such as the Mediterranean region, which is predicted to be particularly affected by CC in the future. The preliminary trend analysis of available rainfall data suggests that the possible future CC impacts will decrease the precipitation in parts of the Atlas Mountains, which is the main source of water supply in western Morocco. The more recent data acquisition and the data from national sources in Morocco are necessary to further confirm/reject this hypothesis. The paper also discusses subsequent steps of the study of CC impacts on water resources in Oum er Rbia basin.

Climate change is expected to modify the hydrological cycle and affect freshwater resources. Groundwater is a critical source of fresh drinking water for almost half of the world’s population and it also supplies irrigated agriculture. Groundwater is also important in sustaining streams, lakes, wetlands, and associated ecosystems. But despite this, knowledge about the impact of climate change on groundwater quantity and quality is limited. Direct impacts of climate change on natural processes (groundwater recharge, discharge, storage, saltwater intrusion, biogeochemical reactions, chemical fate and transport) may be exacerbated by human activities (indirect impacts). Increased groundwater abstraction, for example, may be needed in areas with unsustainable or contaminated surface water resources caused by droughts and floods. Climate change effects on groundwater resources are, therefore, closely linked to other global change drivers, including population growth, urbanization and land-use change, coupled with other socio-economic and political trends. Groundwater response to global changes is a complex function that depends on climate change and variability, topography, aquifer characteristics, vegetation dynamics, and human activities. This volume contains case studies from diverse aquifer systems, scientific methods, and climatic settings that have been conducted globally under the framework of the UNESCO-IHP project Groundwater Resources Assessment under the Pressures of Humanity and Climate Change (GRAPHIC). This book presents a current and global synthesis of scientific findings and policy recommendations for scientists, water managers and policy makers towards adaptive management of groundwater sustainability under future climate change and variability.

There is ample evidence to suggest that Sri Lanka’s climate has already changed. However, the bigger question of national importance is what Sri Lanka’s climate will look like in 50 or 100 years and how prepared the country is to face such changes. This report reviews the status of climate change (CC) research/activities in Sri Lanka in terms of observed and projected climatic changes, their impacts on water resources and agriculture, CC mitigation and adaptation, and research needs. The study also developed a pilot level CC Vulnerability Index, which was subsequently mapped at district level. The maps indicate that typical farming districts such as Nuwara Eliya, Badulla, Moneragala, Ratnapura and Anuradhapura are the most vulnerable to CC due to their heavy reliance on primary agriculture.

A nem feltétlenül tudományos köröknek szánva – inkább a térség iránt érdeklődők számára – megírt kötetben két – Észak-Afrika nyugati részén elhelyezkedő politikai-gazdasági territórium bemutatására vállalkoztak a szerzők. Az arab tavasz által talán kevéssé megérintett Marokkó belső és külső jellemzőinek, változó történelmi gazdasági términtáinak felvázolásán túl a nyugat-szaharai politikai tér fejlődése is külön hangsúlyt kapott. A két nagy egységből álló munka arra törekszik, hogy megfelelő regionális helyzetképet, útmutatást nyújtson az egymással különleges viszonyban álló entitásokról. A szerzők igyekeztek tartózkodni a direkt állásfoglalástól, mivel a két politikai teret a közös kulturális, történelmi kapcsolatokon túl sajátos módon kapcsolja össze az az összetett okokra visszavezethető konfliktus, amelynek megoldása jelen állás szerint nem tűnik túlzottan sikeresnek. Mindezek rövid összefoglalásával a kötet szerzői nagy hangsúlyt fektettek a biztonságpolitikai dilemmával kapcsolatos jelenségek bemutatására annak érdekében, hogy az Olvasókat pontosabb ismeretekkel vértezzék fel. Tették mindezt oly módon, hogy egyikőjük maga is tevékeny részese volt az 1991-től működő MINURSO-nak. A kötet kiadása abban a reményben történt, hogy alkalmazható ismereteket nyújtson a térség iránt érdeklődők számára.
