Constanta city is located on the Black Sea coast in the eastern part of the Romanian South Dobrogea region. Global warming in the Dobrogea region promotes drought conditions that decrease groundwater levels and increase abstraction rates in the shallow unconfined aquifers (loess deposits and karstified Sarmatian limestones) being used for public supply. This study advocates using an alternative confined and high quality groundwater source in the zone adjacent to the tectonic blocks 5 and 10, where the Senonian aquitard ensures delays to climate change and provides protection from potential anthropogenic contaminants. Our review of the hydrogeologic and technical conditions further suggest that abstraction wells need to be developed within the Constanţa city limits and Upper Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous aquifer (400–1,200 m thick). Suggested optimal exploitation characteristics are proposed. KeywordsClimate change-Global warming-Aquifer-Coastal area-Tectonic block-Abstraction well

... Dobrogea is characterized by a predominantly semi-arid climate, with annual precipitation levels often below 400 mm, and an average temperature of 10-11°C, rising to 22-23°C during the summer months. This region is particularly susceptible to drought and desertification, especially in the southern parts, due to low rainfall and high evapotranspiration [17]. Elevations in Dobrogea are generally below 150 meters, except for the Măcin Mountains in the north, where peaks reach up to 467 meters, receiving higher precipitation totals [15]. ...
