Short summary
This study presents a modeling framework for estimating potential climate and land use change impacts for the 21st century in the Mancha Oriental aquifer. A watershed agriculturally based hydrological model (SWAT) was sequentially coupled with a groundwater flow model in MODFLOW and a groundwater mass-transport model in MT3DMS for groundwater concentrations. Future projections preview a decrease in groundwater recharge, affecting groundwater quantity, quality and interaction with the Jucar River
