“…Artificial groundwater recharge has been performed through water harvesting structures, by collecting surface runoff, and increasing infiltration through a combination of dry wells, percolation tanks and/or bank infiltration recharge, while preventing water‐quality decrease (Ahirwar, Malik, Ahirwar, & Shukla, 2020; Sandoval & Tiburan, 2019). This has been upscaled by the deployment of remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques to precisely identify suitable sites to enhance groundwater recharge potential, through analysing relevant factors such as geomorphology, geology, slopes, land use and drainage characteristics (Chandra, Singh, Tiwari, Panigrahy, & Kumar, 2015; Khan, Govil, Taloor, & Kumar, 2020; Machiwal, Jha, & Mal, 2011). Remote sensing has also been used to detect terrestrial water cycling through the detection of changes in Earth's gravitational field (Feng, Shurn, Zhong, & Pan, 2018; Rodell et al, 2007).…”

The importance of soils to society has gained increasing recognition over the past decade, with the potential to contribute to most of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With unprecedented and growing demands for food, water and energy, there is an urgent need for a global effort to address the challenges of climate change and land degradation, whilst protecting soil as a natural resource. In this paper, we identify the contribution of soil science over the past decade to addressing gaps in our knowledge regarding major environmental challenges: climate change, food security, water security, urban development, and ecosystem functioning and biodiversity. Continuing to address knowledge gaps in soil science is essential for the achievement of the SDGs. However, with limited time and budget, it is also pertinent to identify effective methods of working that ensure the research carried out leads to real‐world impact. Here, we suggest three strategies for the next decade of soil science, comprising a greater implementation of research into policy, interdisciplinary partnerships to evaluate function trade‐offs and synergies between soils and other environmental domains, and integrating monitoring and modelling methods to ensure soil‐based policies can withstand the uncertainties of the future. Highlights We highlight the contributions of soil science to five major environmental challenges since 2010. Researchers have contributed to recommendation reports, but work is rarely translated into policy. Interdisciplinary work should assess trade‐offs and synergies between soils and other domains. Integrating monitoring and modelling is key for robust and sustainable soils‐based policymaking.

“…In this regard, the availability of relevant data for multiple facets of drought characterization may be a hindrance; however, the application of remote sensing can be useful in obtaining some of the essential input data, which may not be available in field at desirable resolutions. With the advancements in technology, remotely sensed datasets are providing high-resolution information, particularly on physiographic factors (Guptha et al 2021;Jasrotia et al 2013Jasrotia et al , 2016Jasrotia et al , 2019Khan et al 2020;Sarkar et al 2020;Taloor et al 2020Taloor et al , 2021. Further, GIS can conveniently overlay various information into a single platform to quantify the geospatial drought vulnerability.…”

Inclusion of groundwater and socio-economic factors for assessing comprehensive drought vulnerability over Narmada River Basin, India: A geospatial approach

Drought is amongst the most precarious natural hazards associated with severe repercussions. The characterization of droughts is usually carried out by the sector-specific (meteorological/agricultural/hydrological) indices that are mostly based on hydroclimatic variables. Groundwater is the major source of water supply during drought periods, and the socio-economic factors control the aftermaths of droughts; however, they are often ignored by the sector-specific indices, thereby failing to capture the overall impacts of droughts. This study aims to circumvent this issue by incorporating hydroclimatic, socio-economic and physiographic information to assess the overall drought vulnerability over Narmada River Basin, India, which is an agriculture-dominated basin highly dependent on groundwater resources. A Comprehensive Drought Vulnerability Indicator (CDVI) is proposed that assimilates the information on meteorological fluctuations, depth to groundwater level, slope, distance from river reach, population density, land use/land cover, soil type, and elevation through a geospatial approach. The CDVI showed a remarkable geospatial variation over the basin, with a majority (66.4%) of the area under highly to extremely vulnerable conditions. Out of 35 constituent districts of the basin, 9, 22, and 4 districts exhibited moderate, high, and extreme vulnerability to droughts, respectively. These results urge an immediate attention towards reducing drought vulnerability and enhancing resilience towards drought occurrences. The proposed multi-dimensional approach for drought vulnerability mapping would certainly help policy-makers to proactively plan and manage water resources over the basin, especially to ameliorate the pernicious impacts of droughts.

“…Different methods can be adopted to investigate the potential and distribution of groundwater resources. Remote sensing and GIS techniques have been widely used to determine the spatial distribution of groundwater potential zones through logistic regression model (Ozdemir 2011), frequency ratio model (Moghaddam et al 2015;Naghibi et al 2015), multi-criteria decision-making model (Mukherjee et al 2012;Kumar et al 2014;Machiwal & Singh 2015;Das et al 2017;Das & Pardeshi 2018;Arulbalaji et al 2019;Haque et al 2020;Khan et al 2020), mathematical models, and other geostatistical and geospatial techniques (Mallick et al 2015;Singh et al 2017;Jasrotia et al 2019;Sarkar et al 2020). Several studies have also explored other groundwater exploration methods such as drilling, geophysical, and geological methods.…”

The management of the available groundwater resources is vital in arid and semi-arid regions. Artificial recharging should be integrated with the groundwater resources to maintain long-term water sustainability. This study applied the cost-effective and time-saving techniques of remote sensing and GIS to delineate the groundwater recharge potential in the Al-Sarhan Basin, located in arid and semiarid regions of Jordan, by following the weighted linear combination method. The results revealed three distinct groundwater potential recharge zones (low, moderate, and high potential zones). High to moderate groundwater recharge potential zones occupied 75% of the Al-Sarhan area with considerable artificial recharge capacity because of the suitable geology, soil texture, drainage density, and flat terrain conditions. The map also depicted that 25% of the Al-Sarhan area possesses low groundwater recharging potential. The model further revealed the presence of 93% wells in potential groundwater recharge zones.
