New Precipitation Is Scarce in Deep Soils: Findings From 47 Forest Plots Spanning Switzerland
Abstract As precipitation infiltrates into soils, it can recharge them, displace previously stored waters, or bypass already‐filled pores. Using 3,697 δ2H and δ18O measurements of water collected nearly monthly over >3 years in 47 forest plots across Switzerland, we present a systematic investigation of the controls on mobile soil water transport.

Effects of preferential flow on snowmelt partitioning and groundwater recharge in frozen soils
. Snowmelt is a major source of groundwater recharge in cold regions. Throughout many landscapes snowmelt occurs when the ground is still frozen; thus frozen soil processes play an important role in snowmelt routing, and, by extension, the timing and ...

Abstract A combination of groundwater pumping and shifting precipitation patterns is drawing down aquifer levels in many of the world's drylands and is predicted to generate widespread loss of perennial streamflows over the next few decades. This process broadly threatens freshwater biota, especially in arid and semiarid regions.

Groundwater vulnerability is evaluated in a critical drinking water basin under the threats of climate change and population growth. Using GIS‐based DRASTIC modeling and field validation, high‐risk zones are identified. The results offer strategic insights for protecting Ankara's groundwater resources against escalating environmental and anthropogenic ...
