Estimation of groundwater recharge response from rainfall events in a semi-arid fractured aquifer: Case study of quaternary catchment A91H, Limpopo Province, South Africa

open access: yesCogent Engineering, 2019
This study estimated groundwater recharge response from rainfall events in a semi-arid fractured aquifer. This is crucial as recharge response has an influence on available groundwater in an aquifer.

Combining the Morris Method and Multiple Error Metrics to Assess Aquifer Characteristics and Recharge in the Lower Ticino Basin, in Italy [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Groundwater flow model accuracy is often limited by the uncertainty in model parameters that characterize aquifer properties and aquifer recharge. Aquifer properties such as hydraulic conductivity can have an uncertainty spanning orders of magnitude. Meanwhile, parameters used to configure model boundary conditions can introduce additional uncertainty.

Groundwater age, life expectancy and transit time distributions in advective-dispersive systems: 1. Generalized reservoir theory [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Water Resources 29 (2006) 1267-1291, 2011
We present a methodology for determining reservoir groundwater age and transit time probability distributions in a deterministic manner, considering advective-dispersive transport in steady velocity fields. In a first step, we propose to model the statistical distribution of groundwater age at aquifer scale by means of the classical advection ...

Landsat time series reveal forest loss and woody encroachment in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 808-826, December 2022., 2022
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is globally important for biodiversity conservation due to the presence of iconic megafauna. For decades now, the NCA is experiencing a number of notoriously difficult to address challenges; understanding its land cover dynamics is therefore increasingly important to improve habitat ...

Irrigation water use efficiency: A water balance approach

open access: yesRiver, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 142-148, November 2022., 2022
A water use framework that covers four levels of water management infrastructure: the water source, bulk conveyance system, the irrigation scheme, and the irrigation farm can be used to improve irrigation efficiency. The water balance approach can be applied at any level, within defined boundaries, or across all levels to assess performance within the ...

Assessing the role of groundwater recharge from tanks in crystalline bedrock aquifers in Karnataka, India, using hydrochemical tracers

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology X, 2022
The majority of India’s rural drinking water supply is sourced from groundwater, which also plays a critical role in irrigated agriculture, supporting the livelihoods of millions of users. However, recent high abstractions are threatening the sustainable

Predicting Playa Inundation Using a Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In the Great Plains, playas are critical wetland habitats for migratory birds and a source of recharge for the agriculturally-important High Plains aquifer. The temporary wetlands exhibit complex hydrology, filling rapidly via local rain storms and then drying through evaporation and groundwater infiltration.

Delineating potential sites for artificial groundwater recharge using a mathematical approach to remote sensing and GIS techniques

open access: yesWater Supply, 2022
The management of available groundwater resources is vital in arid and semi-arid regions. Artificial recharging should be integrated with groundwater resources to maintain long-term water sustainability.

Open-Source Software Application for Hydrogeological Delineation of Potential Groundwater Recharge Zones in the Singida Semi-Arid, Fractured Aquifer, Central Tanzania

open access: yesHydrology, 2020
This study attempted to delineate and map potential groundwater recharge zones of the Singida, semi-arid, fractured crystalline basement aquifer using open source remote sensing and GIS software. Various thematic maps such as lithology/hydrogeology, soil,

Impacts of climate change on Swiss alluvial aquifers – A quantitative forecast focused on natural and artificial groundwater recharge by surface water infiltration

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology X, 2022
The sensitivity of future groundwater recharge and temperature development was investigated for three alluvial aquifers in the urban agglomeration of the city of Basel, Switzerland. For selected climate projections groundwater recharge and the associated
