Recharge observations indicate strengthened groundwater connection to surface fluxes
Recharge observations indicate strengthened groundwater connection to surface fluxes
Groundwater is an invaluable global resource, but its long-term viability as a resource for consumption, agriculture, and ecosystems depends on precipitation recharging aquifers. How much precipitation recharges groundwaters varies enormously across Earth's surface, but recharge rates are uncertain because field observations are sparse and modeled global estimates remain largely unvalidated. …
