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.

Global synthesis of groundwater recharge in semiarid and arid regions

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

The distribution of soil nutrients with depth: Global patterns and the imprint of plants

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the importance of plants in structuring the vertical distributions of soil nutrients and found that the nutrients that are most limiting for plants would have the shallowest average distributions across ecosystems, and the vertical distribution of a limiting nutrient would be shallower as the nutrient became more scarce.

Beneath the surface of global change: Impacts of climate change on groundwater

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview and synthesis of the key aspects of subsurface hydrology, including water quantity and quality, related to global change and potential impacts of groundwater on the global climate system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Groundwater recharge: an overview of processes and challenges

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized current understanding of recharge processes, identified recurring rechargeevaluation problems, and reported on some recent advances in estimation techniques for (semi-)arid regions.
