Abstract
This paper presents the results from using a validated unsaturated flow model to predict groundwater response to climate variability and climate change at the Ranger uranium project, Northern Territory, Australia. A Monte Carlo-style approach was adopted, with 30 statistically generated replicates for each of the 5 models and 7 scenarios from the IPCC climate change projections, giving 1050 model mns in total. The results are presented in terms of predicted groundwater levels to 2100. The paper demonstrates the usefulness of this modelling approach in understanding the future impacts from climate change on groundwater levels.
