• Growing Demand and Climate Change Likely Means Less Water for New Hampshire's Seacoast Region by 2025
  released July 9, 2009
  
  Findings from a groundwater availability study in the Seacoast region of New Hampshire were released today. Increased demand for water and a warmer climate will likely decrease the amount of water available in the streams and aquifers of southeast New Hampshire’s Seacoast region. Summer stream flows could be 10 percent less by 2025 than they are now and groundwater levels will likely drop if demand continues to grow as projected.
