However, it faces challenges from both anthropogenic and natural stressors, deteriorated by expected climate change. This paper presents the impact of climate change on groundwater resources in Serbia, focusing on quantity and quality dynamics. Through legal frameworks like the Paris Agreement and national climate and water strategies, as well as others, Serbia aims to integrate climate change considerations into water management. Climate change projections suggest changes in groundwater recharge patterns, affecting water availability and quality. Groundwater depletion and changes in hydrogeochemical conditions could cause water-supply well aging, through acceleration of the clogging process in the wells themselves as well as in the pre-filter zone. This leads to a decrease in well capacity and increased maintenance costs. Mitigation strategies are crucial, including efficient water usage, environmental preservation, and diversified water sources. Strategic planning, the construction of reservoirs for the provision of additional quantities of water and improved monitoring of the quality and quantity of underground water are advocated in order to ensure water security in the conditions of expected climate change and climate uncertainty. 75 Years Faculty of Civil Engineering SS Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje - From Slide Rule to Artifical Intelligence startpage: 143 endpage: 148 Impacts of climate changes on groundwater resources - An overview Faculty of Civil Engineering, Ss.
