Influence of intensive agriculture and geological heterogeneity on the recharge of an arid aquifer system (saq-ram, arabian peninsula) inferred from grace data

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Groundwater resources in arid zones have been heavily exploited for the past 50 years or so to meet growing demands, which has led to overexploitation and local longterm depletion in many cases (Al-Zyoud et_al, 2015; Othman et_al, 2018). When aquifer recharge is much lower than withdrawals, this depletion can constitute permanent groundwater mining (Bierkens and Wada, 2019; Wada et_al, 2010). As it is much less time- and cost-consuming than ground-based methods, this remote-sensing approach has been widely used for quantifying variations in aquifer storage (e_g Bonsor et_al, 2018; Othman et_al . . .
