Abstract:Groundwater age is often used to estimate groundwater recharge through a
simplified analytical approach. This estimated recharge is thought to be
representative of the mean recharge between the point of entry and the
sampling point. However, given the complexity in actual recharge,
whether the mean recharge is reasonable is still unclear. This study
examined the validity of the method to estimate long-term average
groundwater recharge and the possibility of obtaining reasonable spatial
recharge pattern. We fir… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
