Arizona Tri-University Recharge Project aims to increase groundwater recharge

The Arizona Tri-University Recharge Project report looks at how to capture water across the state and increase groundwater recharge. Researchers from Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University and the University of Arizona used satellite-based methods to develop information. It found a massive amount of water is being lost to evapotranspiration, water loss through soil and plants.
