Recharge estimation in aquifers of the Bogota Savannah ; Estimación de la recarga media anual en los acuíferos de la Sabana de Bogotá

Recharge is a key factor for the sustainability of aquifers. In the Bogota Savannah there is an increasing interest in groundwater resources because of both the increase in water demand and climate change. Even though recharge studies in this region have traditionally focused on soil wáter balance approaches based on the use the FAO methodology for determining actual evapotranspiration levels, this work applies a frugal monthly water balance model and calibrates its lumped parameters through minimization of the error function between observed and simulated discharges in each hydrological basin...
