Abstract The general and specific effects of predicted climate change on groundwater systems in permafrost regions are summarized. Besides a general decrease in the thickness and areal distribution of permafrost, a large unfrozen near‐surface aquifer with perennial groundwater flow might develop. Recharge and discharge would become more active and increased groundwater discharge would affect the baseflow of many rivers and the chemistry of their waters.
