Abstract
The impact of climate change on groundwater recharge is analysed in GLOWA-Danube. The chapter deals with the long-term average spatially distributed groundwater recharge during the climatological period from 1971 to 2000. The chapter first discusses the basic underlying assumptions of the model representation in DANUBIA of water movement in the unsaturated soil, formulates the analytic solution of Philip’s equation used and shows in the form of a map the annual groundwater recharge as results of the model run using station data as meteorological driver. The results are discussed.
