Estimating groundwater recharge
TL;DR: In this article, a critical evaluation of the theory and assumptions that underlie methods for estimating rates of groundwater recharge is provided, with detailed explanations of the methods provided - allowing readers to apply many of the techniques themselves without needing to consult additional references.

Anthropogenic influences on groundwater arsenic concentrations in Bangladesh
Rebecca B. Neumann,Khandaker N. Ashfaque,A. B. M. Badruzzaman,M. Ashraf Ali,Julie K. Shoemaker,Charles F. Harvey +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a typical site in Bangladesh, where groundwater-irrigated rice fields and constructed ponds are the main sources of groundwater recharge, combine hydrologic and biogeochemical analyses to trace the origin of contaminated groundwater.

Towards a comprehensive assessment of model structural adequacy
TL;DR: In this article, a unified conceptual framework for modeling the terrestrial hydrosphere is proposed, based on philosophical perspectives from the groundwater, unsaturated zone, terrestrial hydrometeorology, and surface water communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The conceptualization model problem—surprise
TL;DR: The conceptualization problem does not render models unusable; however, it introduces an uncertainty that often is not widely recognized as mentioned in this paper, and the uncertainty is exacerbated in making long-term predictions of system performance.

Denitrification in the Mississippi River network controlled by flow through river bedforms
TL;DR: This article showed that denitrification due to flow through small-scale river bed-forms exceeds that along channel banks in the Mississippi River network, which is the largest river in the US.
