Item Open Access Comparison of water table fluctuation and chloride mass balance methods for recharge estimation in a tropical rainforest climate: a case study from Kelantan River catchment, Malaysia(Springer, 2015) Seyed Reza Saghravani; Ismail Yusoff; Wan Zakaria Wan Md Tahir; Zainudin OthmanEstimated groundwater recharge for selected locations in northeast Peninsular Malaysia (North Kelantan River catchment) was determined using the water table fluctuation (WTF) and chloride mass balance (CMB) methods. The WTF method recharge estimates were compared to the CMB method estimates to see if results are similar and the methods can be applied in a humid, tropical region, such as Malaysia.Item Restricted Estimating groundwater recharge based on mass balance evaluation of unsaturated zone in a coastal catchment characterized by tropical rainforest weather conditions(Springer, 2016) Seyed Reza Saghravani; Ismail Yusoff; Wan Zakaria Wan Md Tahir; Zainudin OthmanEstimation of recharge is necessary for evaluating water resources in the north Kelantan catchment of Malaysia due to rapid development and consequently over-drafting of available groundwater. In order to determine the amount of recharge, a study of natural salts (i.e., chloride and sulfate) was conducted to estimate groundwater recharge rates. Studies of the chloride mass balance (CMB) and sulfate mass balance (SMB) were carried out in the unsaturated zone under rainforest weather conditions with a relatively shallow groundwater table.
