“…There is a slight variation when the minimum water levels from these wells were used, likely attributed to seasonal and meteorological conditions affecting some river-aquifer systems, causing shifts from export water to import water at different times. It is important to note that minimum values are more sensitive to observational errors, such as changes in sensor depth or measurements taken when the sensor is not fully submerged (e.g., Smith et al, 2023). Despite observed variations, they are relatively small compared to the magnitude of the data, suggesting that the median effectively represents the aquifer's condition and can be used for the analysis of river-aquifer interactions.…”
