Anthropogenic Basin Closure and Groundwater Salinization (ABCSAL)

December 1, 2020

Key Points

  • Groundwater pumping may close a basin, and gradually lead to the accumulation of dissolved solids and hence worsening water quality.
  • For the first time, we describe Anthropogenic Basin Closure and groundwater SALinization (ABCSAL).
  • We develop a method to estimate the rate of ongoing ABCSAL in a groundwater basin, and apply it to California’s Tulare Basin.
