Groundwater Recharge of Fractured Rock Aquifers in SE Australia Is Episodic and Controlled by Season and Rainfall Amount

Abstract Sustainable management of groundwater resources requires a comprehensive understanding of groundwater recharge; including when and under what conditions groundwater recharge occurs. However, recharge is one of the least understood hydrologic processes. Here we show how event‐scale rainfall...
