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]
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]
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 ...

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
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 ...

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

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.
