It has been reported that competition for water, i.e., for shared sources, can lead to serious conflicts both at domestic and international scale. Though at the same time, this same condition offers the opportunity of bringing stakeholders to the negotiation table as water becomes a strategic and national security resource (Subramanian &amp; Wolf 2012; Wolf 1999). Within this context, transboundary aquifers (TBAs) raise questions about their sustainable management, the fair distribution of water, and transboundary effects among the countries that share them, and at the same time, becomes a tool to promote cooperation and peace.<\/span><\/p><p>In addition, limited knowledge of TBAs in most regions of the world poses a problem of planning and developing shared groundwater resources. A lack of adequate, long-term groundwater monitoring is also a common obstacle to the comprehensive assessment of TBAs (Rivera et al., 2022). With limited knowledge, threats on groundwater security are perceived (sometimes wrongly), including its unsustainable use, decreased recharge rates, and even conflicts. Thus, reaching conflict-free joint governance of a TBA, to bring about equitable and sustainable use of the resource, requires a three-pillar framework, including the physical assessment of the TBA, cooperation and collaboration mechanisms, and shared management (Rivera et al., 2022).<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f02e23d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f02e23d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2ce9df e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a2ce9df\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9524258 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9524258\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/The-current-water-condition-along-the-MX-U.S.-border.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-11882\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/The-current-water-condition-along-the-MX-U.S.-border.webp 950w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/The-current-water-condition-along-the-MX-U.S.-border-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/The-current-water-condition-along-the-MX-U.S.-border-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/The-current-water-condition-along-the-MX-U.S.-border-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/The-current-water-condition-along-the-MX-U.S.-border-12x12.webp 12w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/The-current-water-condition-along-the-MX-U.S.-border-624x624.webp 624w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/The-current-water-condition-along-the-MX-U.S.-border-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/The-current-water-condition-along-the-MX-U.S.-border-100x100.webp 100w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/The-current-water-condition-along-the-MX-U.S.-border-50x50.webp 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a4e1012 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a4e1012\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69bbd4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"69bbd4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The current water condition along the MX-U.S. border<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-033d4b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"033d4b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bb-theme-elementor-wrap bb-elementor-custom-color bb-elementor-custom-family bb-elementor-custom-size\">\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continued drought conditions are generating internal and bilateral tensions as competing water users in Mexico and the United States struggle to meet their needs.

On an intermittent basis, exchange of basic isolated information and the results of a couple of studies (San Pedro and Santa Cruz, Mesilla and Hueco Bolson) has been carried out in order to identify existing or potential transboundary effects, to mitigate or prevent them, but not much on the design of potential joint management plans.

These effects were shown in a global study of TBAs with aquifer stress indicators using groundwater abstraction, groundwater recharge, and groundwater contribution to environment flow, as indicated in Figure 1.2 (Wada and Heinrich, 2013). As the demand for water increases with economic development and population growth, competition for the vital resource becomes greater. It has been written that competition for water, i.e., for shared sources, can lead to serious conflicts and even wars. Though at the same time, this same condition is bringing stakeholders to the negotiation table as water becomes a strategic and national security resource (Subramanian &amp; Wolf 2012; Wolf 1999). Within this context, transboundary aquifers (TBAs) raise questions about their sustainable management, the fair distribution of water, and transboundary effects among the countries that share them.\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37afe13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"37afe13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">In addition, limited knowledge of TBAs in most regions of the world poses a problem of planning and developing shared groundwater resources. A lack of adequate, long-term groundwater monitoring is also a common obstacle to the comprehensive assessment of TBAs (Rivera et al., 2022). With limited knowledge, threats on groundwater security are perceived (sometimes wrongly), including its unsustainable use, decreased recharge rates, and even conflicts. Thus, reaching conflict-free joint governance of a TBA, to bring about equitable and sustainable use of the resource, requires a three-pillar framework, including the physical assessment of the TBA, cooperation and collaboration mechanisms, and shared management (Rivera et al., 2022).\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-03e0192 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"03e0192\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The current water condition along the MX-U.S. border<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71d1b88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"71d1b88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Continued drought conditions are generating internal and bilateral tensions as competing water users in Mexico and the United States struggle to meet their needs. More frequent flooding events result in threats to critical border water infrastructure, heightened sanitation and public health issues, as well as greater contamination of transboundary water bodies. Tension over the use of shared transboundary groundwater is increasingly apparent as the lack of clear guidelines over its management collides with a greater demand for this resource. Recent tension over the allocation of water resources (Mumme, 2021) is a harbinger of a future where competition over unreliable water supplies will intensify (Figure 1.2 shows two of the most important TBA\u2019s cases along the border). Meeting these challenges requires innovative and strategic thinking, recognizing the complex and dynamic interaction between coupled environmental forces and socio-economic systems in the border region.\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-593dd45 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"593dd45\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-1024x488.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9398\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-1024x488.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-768x366.png 768w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-18x9.png 18w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-624x297.png 624w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-600x286.png 600w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002.png 1193w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc27fb2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bc27fb2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Figure 1.2.

This growing demand strains the capacity of limited water supplies to deal with a broad spectrum of social, legal, and environmental issues threatening surface and groundwater quality and border security. Droughts across the region, already decades-long, are likely to continue and intensify, and constrain even further the ability of the parties to meet water delivery obligations in the Colorado and Rio Grande rivers <a style=\"color:#3D3B6E\" href=\"https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/transboundary-aquifers-pilot-program-2\/#references\">(Coronado et al. 2021, Renteria et al. 2022).<\/a><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a57b224 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a57b224\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A required collaboration on transboundary waters<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0cf753 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d0cf753\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The need to regulate groundwater between Mexico and the United States requires information and research.

However, in the area of groundwater, only one agreement has been concluded (Minute 242, IBWC, 1973), which limits groundwater extraction in the shared Yuma\/Mexicali-area aquifers, and establishes obligations of mutual consultation if one of them intends to carry out actions that could have harmful effects on the other side of the border.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbe5fae elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fbe5fae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1978\" src=\"https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-001-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9390\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-001-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-001-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-001-1024x791.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-001-768x593.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-001-1536x1187.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-001-2048x1583.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-001-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-001-624x482.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-001-600x464.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83c4a35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"83c4a35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Figure 1.1.

These effects were shown in a global study of TBAs with aquifer stress indicators using groundwater abstraction, groundwater recharge, and groundwater contribution to environment flow, as indicated in Figure 1.2 (Wada and Heinrich, 2013). As the demand for water increases with economic development and population growth, competition for the vital resource becomes greater. It has been written that competition for water, i.e., for shared sources, can lead to serious conflicts and even wars. Though at the same time, this same condition is bringing stakeholders to the negotiation table as water becomes a strategic and national security resource (Subramanian &amp; Wolf 2012; Wolf 1999). Within this context, transboundary aquifers (TBAs) raise questions about their sustainable management, the fair distribution of water, and transboundary effects among the countries that share them.\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f09053 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8f09053\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">In addition, limited knowledge of TBAs in most regions of the world poses a problem of planning and developing shared groundwater resources. A lack of adequate, long-term groundwater monitoring is also a common obstacle to the comprehensive assessment of TBAs (Rivera et al., 2022). With limited knowledge, threats on groundwater security are perceived (sometimes wrongly), including its unsustainable use, decreased recharge rates, and even conflicts. Thus, reaching conflict-free joint governance of a TBA, to bring about equitable and sustainable use of the resource, requires a three-pillar framework, including the physical assessment of the TBA, cooperation and collaboration mechanisms, and shared management (Rivera et al., 2022).\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e54f157 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e54f157\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The current water condition along the MX-U.S. border<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95b1daa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"95b1daa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Continued drought conditions are generating internal and bilateral tensions as competing water users in Mexico and the United States struggle to meet their needs. More frequent flooding events result in threats to critical border water infrastructure, heightened sanitation and public health issues, as well as greater contamination of transboundary water bodies. Tension over the use of shared transboundary groundwater is increasingly apparent as the lack of clear guidelines over its management collides with a greater demand for this resource. Recent tension over the allocation of water resources (Mumme, 2021) is a harbinger of a future where competition over unreliable water supplies will intensify (Figure 1.2 shows two of the most important TBA\u2019s cases along the border). Meeting these challenges requires innovative and strategic thinking, recognizing the complex and dynamic interaction between coupled environmental forces and socio-economic systems in the border region.\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79a73b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"79a73b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-1024x488.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9398\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-1024x488.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-768x366.png 768w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-18x9.png 18w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-624x297.png 624w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002-600x286.png 600w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/home-002.png 1193w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-978a60a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"978a60a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Figure 1.2.

On an intermittent basis, exchange of basic isolated information and the results of a couple of studies (San Pedro and Santa Cruz, Mesilla and Hueco Bolson) has been carried out in order to identify existing or potential transboundary effects, to mitigate or prevent them, but not much on the design of potential joint management plans.

However, it remains unclear whether the APN-TBA can be considered a truly transboundary aquifer flow system, which would potentially require joint or coordinated management by two different administrative jurisdictions.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41f28db elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"41f28db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"715\" src=\"https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/about-summary-001.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9442\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/about-summary-001.png 641w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/about-summary-001-269x300.png 269w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/about-summary-001-11x12.png 11w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/about-summary-001-624x697.png 624w, https:\/\/www.binationalwaters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/about-summary-001-600x670.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de1dbf5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"de1dbf5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Figure 2.1.

coined from the need to share an aquifer that has been divided artificially by two or more jurisdictions. The common definition of aquifer in hydrogeology applies in this case too, but in the transboundary aquifer case, jurisdictional boundaries are added to the natural boundaries of the aquifer. Groundwater that crosses a jurisdictional boundary under natural conditions dictated by recharge, discharge, and hydraulic gradient is a transboundary groundwater flux.

Delineation of these units subdivides the geologic framework into relatively more or less permeable portions and thus aids in definition of the groundwater flow systems. Hydrostratigraphic units may include aquitards, which should be included in the groundwater water flow system as they may pose significant barriers to the vertical flow of groundwater. This is an important aspect to consider when dealing with transboundary aquifer systems, which may significantly affect the regional flow of groundwater at the scale of the jurisdictional boundary.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/tba.iah.org\/files\/2023\/06\/Newsletter-IAH-TBA_2022_04.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more here<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2298\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"8\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2298\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-question-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-question-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Groundwater Flow Systems (GWFS)<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2298\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"8\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2298\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/books.gw-project.org\/hydrogeologic-properties-of-earth-materials-and-principles-of-groundwater-flow\/part\/interpreting-groundwater-flow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more here<\/a><\/p><p>Dynamics of Groundwater Flow Systems: A groundwater system comprises the subsurface water, the geologic media containing the water, flow boundaries, and sources (such as recharge) and sinks (such as springs, inter-aquifer flow, or wells).

Groundwater flow systems do not only occur in aquifers, groundwater moves through all the saturated materials between a recharge and discharge area. This can include multiple aquifers (unconfined, and confined) as well as aquitards as illustrated schematically in the figure below. Confined aquifers are recharged at outcrop sites or by downward leakage of water from overlying aquifers. In down gradient areas they may discharge in the form of upward leakage of water into overlying aquifers.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/filedn.com\/l31Uxc2iCI1koQr1EKWjwQH\/PFBW\/TransboundaryAquifers\/en\/assets\/img\/acronyms-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"70%\" \/><figcaption>Figure A.1.
