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.

Using groundwater levels to estimate recharge
Richard W. Healy,Peter G. Cook +1 more
TL;DR: A review of methods that are based on groundwater-level data is presented in this article, where the theory underlying the methods is explained and examples from the literature are used to illustrate applications of the different methods.

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
Groundwater recharge: an overview of processes and challenges
Jacobus J. de Vries,Ian Simmers +1 more
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.
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.

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.

The use of natural tracers as indicators of soil-water movement in a temperate semi-arid region
G.B. Allison,M.W. Hughes +1 more
TL;DR: In a semi-arid area of southern Australia, a change in land use from Eucalyptus scrub to cropping with wheat is shown to have caused considerable change in the mechanism of the movement of soil water and the amount of deep drainage as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A filter-paper method for determining the moisture characteristics of soil
RG Fawcett,N Collis-George +1 more
TL;DR: A simple filter paper method for estimating a wide range of moisture potentials has been tested for fifteen soils ranging in texture from sands to heavy clays as discussed by the authors, with an accuracy that should be acceptable for many types of field experimentation.
BookDOI
Estimation of natural groundwater recharge
TL;DR: A review of some of the physical, chemical and isotopic techniques available for estimating groundwater recharge can be found in this article, where the authors propose a model for estimating ground water recharge in arid and semi-arid regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous Solute and Water Transfer for an Unsaturated Soil
TL;DR: In this article, the simultaneous transfer of solute and water during infiltration was studied both in the field and numerically, and an apparent diffusion coefficient of about 0.07 cm2/min provided maximum solute concentration values agreeable with field data over a 17-hour period.
