Cover Story: In the context of climate change, population growth, and urbanization, the Di Lorenzo research group in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Brown University studies how water resources in arid areas are sensitive to uncertainty in input data and presents an innovative assessment strategy to narrow uncertainty and provide robust groundwater recharge estimations. In this study, authors emphasize the pivotal role of climatic parameters in governing groundwater recharge assessment, followed by land use inputs and soil classification. They believe these findings will contribute to harmonizing a balance between aquifers’ economic sustainability and environmental responsibilities in arid regions. While the case study is Qatar, the authors believe the proposed method also applies to other arid areas. View this paper
