Water recharge of aquifers ...

Water recharge of aquifers can be a pressing issue depending on the proportion of water withdrawn from a specific aquifer to the total needs of a community.  There are several MS level projects that could be done without travel or field work that would be interesting useful and appreciated by those getting the information.  For example, is there a known recharge area, and are the land uses there compatible with recharge? or is there enough protected recharge area to assure continued water availability into the future?  You could predict the amount of water likely to be needed by a community into the future and see if current practices ensure that much recharge.  See for example: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/272023515_ASSESSMENT_OF_THE_CURRENT_STATUS_AND_LONG-TERM_VIABILITY_OF_THE_CITY%27S_EDWARDS_AQUIFER_PROTECTION_PROGRAM?ev=prf_ov_fet_res&_iepl%5BviewId%5D=xlXlMhnwqnXHYIxlxCEASpiWNgzb29MKBNcu&_iepl%5Bcontexts%5D%5B0%5D=prfhpi&_iepl%5Bdata%5D%5BstandardItemCount%5D=5&_iepl%5Bdata%5D%5BuserSelectedItemCount%5D=5&_iepl%5Bdata%5D%5BtopHighlightCount%5D=1&_iepl%5Bdata%5D%5BstandardItemIndex%5D=1&_iepl%5Bdata%5D%5BstandardItem1of5%5D=1&_iepl%5BtargetEntityId%5D=PB%3A272023515&_iepl%5BinteractionType%5D=publicationTitle
