Decline in Iran’s groundwater recharge
Nature Communications, 2023 Groundwater recharge feeds aquifers supplying fresh-water to a population over 80 million in Iran—a global hotspot for groundwater depletion. Using an extended database comprising abstractions from over one million groundwater wells, springs, and qanats,

Critical reviews in environmental science and technology, 2022 More than two billion people and 40% of global agricultural production depend upon unsustainable groundwater extraction. Managed aquifer recharge (MAR), the practice of strategically recharging water to replenish subsurface storage, is an important ...

Mapping groundwater recharge in Africa from ground observations and implications for water security
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Groundwater forms the basis of water supplies across much of Africa and its development is rising as demand for secure water increases. Recharge rates are a key component for assessing groundwater development potential, but have not been mapped across ...

Global Recharge Data Set Indicates Strengthened Groundwater Connection to Surface Fluxes
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Groundwater is an invaluable global resource, but its long‐term viability as a resource for consumption, agriculture, and ecosystems depends on precipitation recharging aquifers.

Evaluation of drought impact on groundwater recharge rate using SWAT and Hydrus models on an agricultural island in western Japan [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015 Clarifying the variations of groundwater recharge response to a changing non-stationary hydrological process is important for efficiently managing groundwater resources, particularly in regions with limited precipitation that face the risk of water ...
