An integrated modeling framework to assess surface and ground water resources

Groundwater—the water contained in porous and fractured rocks underground—is the largest freshwater source on Earth apart from the ice caps and glaciers. It feeds into rivers, lakes, and other surface water bodies and is essential for ecosystems. In addition, groundwater systems are an integral part of agricultural irrigation, especially in regions with scarce surface water resources.
