Review of Global Interest and Developments in the Research on Aquifer Recharge and Climate Change: A Bibliometric Approach

Groundwater represents 98% of the world’s freshwater resources. These resources have been strongly impacted by the increases in temperature and in the variation in precipitation. Despite many advances, the relationship between climate change and the dynamics of aquifer recharge is still poorly under...
