Bibliometric Analysis of Climate Change Impacts on Groundwater Resources Since 2000

A bibliometric analysis integrates 726 publications from Web of Science and Scopus since 2000, systematically reviewing 140 peer-reviewed studies. The work by Sandeep Kunwar links groundwater-climate interactions across scales, focusing on Indian case studies within a global perspective. It evaluates groundwater response through direct and indirect causal factors to advance adaptive management strategies.

Use Cases

• Identify research trends and hotspots in groundwater-climate studies based on the analyzed corpus of 726 publications.
• Analyze the influence of indirect drivers like land use change and pollution on groundwater systems as described in the synthesis.
• Assess regional impacts, such as monsoonal variability on seasonal aquifers, based on the integrated case studies.
• Support the development of multi-dimensional frameworks for groundwater management based on the reviewed challenges.

Strengths

• Systematically reviews 140 peer-reviewed studies from a corpus of 726 publications.
• Integrates region-specific Indian case studies with a global perspective.
• Uses data from authoritative bibliographic databases (Web of Science and Scopus Core Collection).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 53.4 KB DOCX document, indicating a limited scope of raw data.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the focus on Indian case studies and the selected bibliographic sources.
