Drought conditions arising from climate change can affect groundwater and its users essentially in two ways. Firstly, it could cause a net depletion of the groundwater recharge volumes including those of the coastal regions. Secondly, groundwater resources located in the northern dry zone coastal districts could be subjected to contamination with salinity intrusion.
