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

Abstract

Estimated 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.
