Description
Konstantin Drach, Carsten Leven, and Olaf Cirpka present a method to find and measure groundwater discharge in work from 2026. Discharge is hard to pin down because it needs data on how rock conducts water and on the slope of the water level.
Their approach uses a small set of pumping and watch wells set across a line about one hundred meters long. A smoothing method infers the pattern of water conduction, with uncertainty, from drawdown data. Tests in a made-up valley aquifer show the method beats standard pumping test fits and can locate discharge patterns at well spacing scale.
