TL;DR: In this paper, the authors critically review recent research assessing the impacts of climate on ground water through natural and human-induced processes as well as through groundwater-driven feedbacks on the climate system, and highlight the possible opportunities and challenges of using and sustaining groundwater resources in climate adaptation strategies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first quantitative continent-wide maps of aquifer storage and potential borehole yields in Africa based on an extensive review of available maps, publications and data.

TL;DR: As one article in a four-part PLoS Medicine series on water and sanitation, Paul Hunter and colleagues argue that much more effort is needed to improve access to safe and sustainable water supplies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a three-year collaborative project between the British Geological Survey and the Environment and Energy Management Agency (EMEA) to collect, collate and present information concerning the physical hydraulic properties of the minor aquifers in England and Wales.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report new evidence from high-resolution in situ records of groundwater levels, abstraction and groundwater quality, which reveal that sustainable groundwater supplies are constrained more by extensive contamination than depletion.
