This project aims to improve our understanding of groundwater recharge through a sensor network deployed in underground spaces located between the soil and the aquifer. This recharge observing system will generate new knowledge which is fundamental for water resource management. Expected outcomes include quantified rainfall recharge thresholds; a better understanding of climate, vegetation and geological controls on rainfall recharge in a time of changing climate and fire regimes; and improved understanding of spatial and temporal variability of rainfall recharge across these diverse environments. This should provide significant benefits for sectors of the Australian economy which rely on the sustainable use of our groundwater resource.

该项目旨在通过部署在土壤和含水层之间的地下空间的传感器网络来提高我们对地下水补给的了解。这个补给观测系统将产生新的知识，这是水资源管理的基础。预期成果包括量化的降雨补给阈值；更好地了解气候、植被和气候和火情变化时期对降雨补给的地质控制；以及更好地了解这些不同环境中降雨补给的空间和时间变异性。这应该会为依赖我们地下水资源可持续利用的澳大利亚经济部门带来重大好处。
