Abstract:
Groundwater renewability is a key factor in managing sustainable water resources in a changing climate. This seminar discusses new insights into groundwater age, flow pathways, and residence times across diverse aquifer systems. By integrating isotopic data and numerical modeling, the analysis reveals how recharge dynamics vary under different hydrogeologic settings. The results underscore the role of geologic structure and climate forcing in controlling groundwater sustainability and inform strategies for water management and policy.
