Groundwater recharge scheme in China boosts regional water resources by 2035.
The study looked at ways to increase groundwater levels in the Daqing River Basin in China. By using a computer model, researchers found that artificial recharge methods can help replenish groundwater resources. They discovered that implementing a well irrigation recharge scheme was the most effective way to improve groundwater levels and storage. This could benefit areas facing water shortages and overexploitation of groundwater, leading to better environmental management and economic development.
