| Popis: | Determining groundwater recharge is in particular in areas with Monsoon rainfall a challenge. Several methods were used to estimate groundwater recharge for the first time ever for the urban area of Hanoi city, Vietnam. Water table fluctuation method (WTF), hydrograph analyses including recession curve displacement, graphical separation, the Automated Web GIS-Base Hydrology Analysis Tool (WHAT), and empirical formulas were utilized. The mean recharge is approximately 340 mm/year accounting for 20% of precipitation in the period 1996 to 2009 with a certain decrease during this period. Baseflow separation methods show the highest values, whereas the displacement recession curve obtains the lowest recharge. The WTF methods approximate values are close to the mean value of all other proxies. The differences between all proxies are around 10%, and Spearman correlation is statistically significant. This indicates that these methods can be used to estimate recharge for this area. With long-term data, however, the results of WTF appear more consistent and more reasonable than the other approaches. |
