The North China Plain (NCP) is one of the global hotspots of groundwater depletion.
Currently, our understanding is limited on spatiotemporal variability in depletion and …

The vadose zone plays a crucial role in the water cycle for storing water, providing water to
vegetation and transporting solutes or degrading contaminants. Earth scientists have long …

Large-scale irrigation projects have impacted the regional surface-groundwater interactions
in the North China Plain (NCP). Given this concern, the aim of this study is to evaluate levels …

Groundwater is essential in the management of water resources globally. The water quality
of aquifers is affected by climate change and population growth, aspects that can be …

Groundwater plays a critical water resources role in arid and semi-arid areas. Quantitative
evaluation of groundwater recharge is crucial in hydrogeological investigations. Under the …

Soil water storage and movement are highly heterogeneous across landscapes and their
response to spatiotemporal variations in meteorological forcing is complex. While different …

Accurate estimation of groundwater recharge is a precondition for assessing its spatial
variation at different scales, especially field scale. In the field, the limitations and …

Understanding the origins of groundwater and its movement from mountain to plain during
different high intensity rainfall events is critical for conserving water supplies, determining …

Better managing agricultural water resources, which are increasingly stressed by climate
change and anthropogenic activities, is difficult, particularly because of variations in water …

Determination of water sources of plant species in a community is critical for understanding
the hydrological processes and their importance in ecosystem functions. Such partitioning of …
