To face the threats to the water supply and to maintain sustainable
water management policies, detailed knowledge is needed on the
surface-to-subsurface transformation link in the water cycle. Recharge
flux is covered in this book as well as many other groundwater issues,
including a comparison of the traditional and modern approaches to
determine groundwater recharge. The authors also explain in detail the
fate of groundwater recharge in the subsurface by hydraulic and geologic
means, in order to stimulate adapted groundwater-management strategies.
