The role of unsaturated zone in estimating groundwater recharge in arid and semiarid areas as depicted by geochemical tracers

In arid and semiarid area, the recharge rate is relatively limited and the unsaturated zone (UZ) is commonly thick. The moisture in the UZ may represent the water infiltrating from precipitation during the past decades to thousands of years. Therefore, the multiple geochemical tracers in soil moistu...
