Enhancing groundwater recharge in drinking water protection zones in Flanders (Belgium): A novel approach to assess stormwater managed aquifer recharge potential
Researchers developed a model to estimate how much stormwater runoff in Flanders, Belgium could be directed underground to recharge drinking water aquifers, finding it could supplement natural recharge by an average of 17%. The study suggests urban stormwater harvesting is an underutilized tool for protecting drinking water supplies, though water quality risks need further investigation.
The Effects of Climate Variation and Anthropogenic Activity on Karst Spring Discharge Based on the Wavelet Coherence Analysis and the Multivariate Statistical
Researchers analyzed climate variation and human activity effects on karst spring discharge using wavelet coherence analysis, finding that anthropogenic factors including land-use changes increasingly influence groundwater dynamics alongside natural climate variability.

Mapping Global Research Trends in Groundwater Quality (2010–2025): a Bibliometric Perspective
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of groundwater quality research published in Scopus between 2010 and 2025, identifying key publication trends, influential authors, and emerging themes including microplastic pollution, extreme event-driven contamination, and AI-based monitoring techniques, while mapping the evolution of interdisciplinary approaches integrating climate science, environmental engineering, and public health.
Groundwater Vulnerability Assessment to Cemeteries Pollution through GIS-Based DRASTIC Index
Researchers used geographic information system (GIS) tools and the DRASTIC index to assess how vulnerable groundwater is to pollution from cemeteries. The study mapped areas where burial practices could allow contaminants from decomposing materials to reach underground water sources. The findings provide a framework for evaluating environmental risks associated with cemetery locations and protecting drinking water resources.
