Abstract

Land cover (LC) transformation increasingly threatens Europe's groundwater systems by altering interactions between land and water. It is essential to evaluate the impact of LC changes to pinpoint vulnerable groundwater resource hotspots that need effective water management strategies. In this study, we identify hotspots for GWR across Europe and investigate the hydro-climatic conditions under which GWR is most sensitive to LC change. We developed different LC scenarios and used Budyko framework to estimate GWR with a spatial resolution of 100 × 100 m across Europe. The resulting maps outline regions with high/low recharge potential under different LC scenarios. Sensitivity and elasticity analyses show that the climatic aridity index (CAI), precipitation, and hydrogeological properties together determine the varying responses of GWR.
