Description

Factsheet giving a project overview and summary of the key results of a regional assessment of the vulnerability of Pacific Island groundwater resources to future climatic conditions. This project provides a first-pass regional-scale assessment of the relative potential vulnerability of groundwater to: (i) low rainfall periods and (ii) mean sea-level rise for 15 Pacific Island countries and territories.

A dataset, technical report and map series are also available (see http://dx.doi.org/10.11636/Record.2014.043).

This factsheet was developed by Geoscience Australia as part of the Pacific Island Groundwater and Future Climates: First-pass Regional Vulnerability Assessment, for the Pacific-Australia Climate Change Science and Adaptation Planning (PACCSAP) programme.
