The sustainable use of groundwater resources concerning further climate change scenarios in Ulaanbaatar City Area, Mongolia

To estimate groundwater resources under changing climate is one of the important issues for Ulaanbaatar City in the Tuul river basin of Mongolia. The main water supply is provided from groundwater and demand has been increasing due to the rapid growth of population and economic development. There ha...
