Analysis of the Groundwater flow can help to understand future water potential. This study has explored the predicted groundwater flow dynamics with climate change and anthropogenic stress in Hormat-Golina Sub-basin. Groundwater flow modeling in this Sub-basin has provided information about groundwater quantity as well as the quality aspect for decision-makers about groundwater accessibility. The initial head measured values before and after irrigation season has varied to a maximum of 0.8 m. The groundwater head level before and after irrigation season was varying from 9.3 m to 8.26 m in the Southern boundary. The groundwater head was obtained from 41.5 m to 38.83 m in the northwestern of the Sub-basin. The maximum drawdown depth had found to 0.27 m and 2.6 m before and after irrigated season around the pumped wells. The increased pumping rate with decreased recharge rate was replying to the groundwater head at the end of 2021 decreased by 2.81 m in the northwestern boundary of the Sub-basin as compared as using constant pumping rate with recharge rate. While decreased pumping with increased recharge rate was replying to the groundwater head at the end of 2021 has increased by 2.23 m in the northwestern boundary of the Sub-basin as compared as using constant pumping rate. The impacts of climate change and human pressure on groundwater begot as the threats in those supply wells. Decreased pumping with increased recharge rate was accomplishing to restore and protect the groundwater resources, which is the best option for groundwater restoration and monitoring.
