Delineating Groundwater Recharge Potential through Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems

, 2022
Owing to the extensive global dependency on groundwater and associated increasing water demand, the global groundwater level is declining rapidly. In the case of Islamabad, Pakistan, the groundwater level has lowered five times over the past five years ...

Turning Water to Wine: An Analysis of Texas Wine Industry Water Management

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Texas wine industry is expanding in scale and reputation during a period when sustainability concerns are increasingly visible and valuable to grape growers and wine producers in Texas. Most vineyard hectarage in Texas is in the High Plains and Hill Country American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), which rely on regional aquifers for water. With

Global-scale estimation of diffuse groundwater recharge : model tuning to local data for semi-arid and arid regions and assessment of climate change impact [PDF]

, 2005
Groundwater recharge is the major limiting factor for the sustainable use of groundwater. To support water management in a globalized world, it is necessary to estimate, in a spatially resolved way, global-scale groundwater recharge.

Estimating groundwater recharge in the dry zone of Sri Lanka using weekly, 10-daily or monthly evapotranspiration data [PDF]

, 1999
Howard and Lloyd (1979) have shown that daily values for rainfall and potential evapotranspiration are required in estimating recharge with a soil water balance model. However, available data may not be daily but weekly or even monthly.
