Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems

program theme

Some terrestrial ecosystems are dependent at certain times of year on groundwater. These ecosystems are at risk as a result of systemic changes in the groundwater table. However little is known about the linkages between surface and groundwater use and the effects on these ecosystems. A small number of key projects will be undertaken under this theme to help quantify these linkages.
