Abstract:
Groundwater renewability is essential to understanding and managing water resources in a changing climate. In this seminar, I will discuss how the age and residence time of groundwater can be quantified using environmental tracers, isotopic analysis, and numerical modeling. The results reveal how recharge rates and flow pathways vary spatially and temporally across different aquifer systems. These insights highlight the importance of linking groundwater age data to hydrologic and geologic frameworks for assessing the sustainability of groundwater use.
