Estimation of rainfall inputs and direct recharge to the deep unsaturated zone of southern Niger using the chloride profile method
TLDR
In this paper, an estimate of direct groundwater recharge below a region of natural woodland (tiger bush) has been made in south-west Niger using the solute profile technique, which has been collected from a 77 m deep well drug within the study area covered by HAPEX-Sahel (Hydrological and Atmospheric Pilot Experiment), an international large-scale energy, water and carbon balance experiment carried out during the summer of 1992.About:

Estimation of relative recharge sequence to groundwater with minimum entropy deconvolution
Taehee Kim,Kang-Keun Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied the minimum entropy deconvolution (MED) for the estimation of the sequential groundwater recharge rate to evaluate the effect of any change in the groundwater system following the change in natural or artificial components.

G-WADI – UNESCO's Global Network for Waterand Development Information for Arid Lands
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a global network for the exchange of knowledge and information to improve the understanding of hydrological systems in arid regions, and the broad dissemination of understanding of these systems and their integrated management to stakeholders and the general public.

The use of environmental chloride and tritium to estimate total recharge to an unconfined aquifer
GB Allison,MW Hughes +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a portion of the Gambier plain underlain by an unconfined aquifer with readily definable hydrologic boundaries has been divided into a number of areas within which soil types have similar hydrological properties, and mean annual recharge has been estimated for each area using both the tritium concentration and the chloride concentration of water within the soil profile.

Filter-paper method for routine measurement of field water potential
TL;DR: In this paper, a more general use of the filter-paper method for measuring soil-water potential over a very wide range of values is advocated, both for in situ and laboratory situations.
