Journal ArticleDOI
Choosing appropriate techniques for quantifying groundwater recharge
TL;DR: The reliability of recharge estimates using different tech- niques is variable as mentioned in this paper, and uncertainties in each approach to estimating recharge underscore the need for application of multiple techniques to increase the expected recharge rates at a site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ground water and climate change
Richard G. Taylor,Bridget R. Scanlon,Petra Döll,Matthew Rodell,Rens van Beek,Yoshihide Wada,Laurent Longuevergne,Marc Leblanc,James S. Famiglietti,Mike Edmunds,Leonard F. Konikow,Timothy R. Green,Jianyao Chen,Makoto Taniguchi,Marc F. P. Bierkens,Alan MacDonald,Ying Fan,Reed M. Maxwell,Yossi Yechieli,Jason J. Gurdak,Diana M. Allen,Mohammad Shamsudduha,Kevin M. Hiscock,Pat J.-F. Yeh,Ian P. Holman,Holger Treidel +25 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors critically review recent research assessing the impacts of climate on ground water through natural and human-induced processes as well as through groundwater-driven feedbacks on the climate system, and highlight the possible opportunities and challenges of using and sustaining groundwater resources in climate adaptation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Groundwater depletion and sustainability of irrigation in the US High Plains and Central Valley
Bridget R. Scanlon,Claudia C. Faunt,Laurent Longuevergne,Robert C. Reedy,William M. Alley,Virginia L. McGuire,Peter B. McMahon +6 more
TL;DR: Increasing water storage through artificial recharge of excess surface water in aquifers by up to 3 km3 shows promise for coping with droughts and improving sustainability of groundwater resources in the Central Valley.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global synthesis of groundwater recharge in semiarid and arid regions
Bridget R. Scanlon,K. E. Keese,Alan L. Flint,Lorraine E. Flint,C.B. Gaye,W. Michael Edmunds,Ian Simmers +6 more
TL;DR: A global synthesis of the findings from ∼140 recharge study areas in semi-arid and arid regions provides important information on recharge rates, controls, and processes, which are critical for sustainable water development as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global impacts of conversions from natural to agricultural ecosystems on water resources: Quantity versus quality
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider potential impacts on water resources, particularly trade-offs between water, salt, and nutrient balances, to develop sustainable water resources to meet human and ecosystem needs.
