Potential groundwater recharge estimates based on a groundwater rise analysis technique for two agricultural sites in southeastern Minnesota, 2016-2018
February 13, 2020
A water table fluctuation model simulated potential recharge rates from 2016 to 2018 for two agricultural sites in southeastern Minnesota. The model calculated potential recharge rates through the analysis of groundwater rises. A total of 42 piezometers were analyzed for this study using the water table fluctuation model. This methodology of calculating potential recharge rates was used as an independent method from two other methods: a soil-water-balance model (https://doi.org/10.5066/P90N4AWG), and DRAINMOD (https://doi.org/10.5066/P987N30U).

Potential groundwater recharge rates for two subsurface-drained agricultural fields, southeastern Minnesota, 2016–18
Subsurface drainage is used to efficiently drain saturated soils to support productive agriculture in poorly drained terrains. Although subsurface drainage alters the water balance for agricultural fields, its effect on groundwater resources and groundwater recharge is poorly understood.
