Merge Deep drainage → Recharge[edit]

This is the same process as recharge. Any objections for this content to be merged there? +mwtoews 04:05, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Recharge" is more encompassing than "deep drainage". True, deep drainage (also called percolation, or deep percolation) does recharge the aquifer, but recharge may also mean "recharge of a surface reservoir", "recharge of a watershed", and even "recharge of a battery". "Recharge", therefore, needs a disambiguation paragraph and a reference to "deep drainage". R.J.Oosterbaan 18:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In addition "deep drainage" also needs to be unambiguated as there also exists deep drainage=drainage with drains at great depth as opposed too shallow drainage.

Merge complete. I'll move this page from Talk:Deep drainage → Talk:Recharge. +mt 04:40, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't understand what it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.100.56.220 (talk) 11:15, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review[edit]

The "Factors Affecting Groundwater" recharge seems to rely heavily on future predictions and trends; given the controversy over climate change, I feel trying to find present-day trends to serve as evidence for the factors would be beneficial. The concepts presented seem backed up and so to ensure they aren't devalued taking a present-day approach may help. Also, using a more neutral tone with the avoidance of phrases such as "severe consequences" is another suggestion I have to strengthen this section. Lastly, the "Therefore" statements at the end of the paragraphs give the impression of some synthesizing on your behalf; I am sure this is what the research states so try to ensure it comes off as information from the literature. -- OntyHam (talk) 15:43, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Textblock removed[edit]

I've removed this text block because it was relying on a single study in Australia and making it sound like this would be universally applicable. I'll work more on this section (climate change impacts on groundwater recharge) today and tomorrow. EMsmile (talk) 15:16, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

+++++++++

Research predicts the insignificant impact of groundwater recharge rates on a medium climate due to predictions of decreased basin size and rainfall.^[1] Precipitation trends are predicted to relay minimal change quantitatively in the near future, while groundwater recharge rates are subject to increase as a consequence of global warming.^[1] This phenomenon is explained through the physical attributes of vegetation. With increasing temperature as a result of global warming, leaf area index (LAI) decreases. This leads to higher rates of infiltration into the soil and less interception within the tree itself. A direct result of increasing infiltration into the soil is elevated rates of groundwater recharge.^[1] Therefore, with increasing temperatures and insignificant changes of precipitation patterns, groundwater recharge rates are subject to increase.
