There has been a decline in rainfall recharge to groundwater over the last ~20 years due to reduced rainfall which is unprecedented for the last 800 years!

Despite how simple it sounds, there's still a lot we don't know about the water cycle. Especially when it comes to groundwater. 💧

That's why we're part of a team of researchers from @UNSW, @Flinders, and @Deakin exploring a new approach to groundwater. https://t.co/YLyE9dTJCL

[Stacey @StacePriestley]

A new way to understand groundwater replenishment by monitoring the water moving from the surface to the water table by using underground spaces - tunnels, mines, caves, etc. - as 'observatories of groundwater recharge' is presented at https://t.co/846QcKilFT

Caves’ climate warning to south-west: groundwater at 800-year low https://t.co/17VGJOi9BU #science via @CosmosMagazine

We've been exploring caves to unlock the secrets of groundwater.

In a world-first study, we've used caves to show the decades-long decline in rainfall in south-west Australia has reduced the replenishment of groundwater in the region to an 800-year low. https://t.co/8Ioddsticb

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

South-west Australia relies on groundwater for three-quarters of its water use.

But a new study of the region’s caves by @StacePriestley + colleagues has found a drying climate is having a dramatic impact on this precious resource.

The current level of rainfall recharging #groundwater in southwest WA is at its lowest for at least the last 800 years. A pioneering technique developed at ANSTO, experts in water resource analysis, was crucial in this research.

1/5 Southwest WA is experiencing its lowest level of groundwater recharge from rainfall in at least 800 years, according to @CSIRO, @ANSTO & @UNSW research:

3/5 The study led by Dr @StacePriestley, along with Prof. Andy Baker (@baker_and) and Dr Pauline Treble, is a world-first in its analysis of cave stalagmites as records of groundwater replenishment.

How have rainfall and groundwater recharge rates changed in southwestern Australia over the past 800 years?

Stacey Priestley @StacePriestley explains why speleothem records can be used to reconstruct these changes

[Goyder Institute @goyderinstitute]

Fantastic to see this critical research published as part of our #ProjectCoorong trials and investigations program. Great work @envir_scientist + team!

We also have exciting news coming soon regarding further work in the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth region...stay tuned!

[Matt Gibbs @Matt___gibbs]

Long term water quality datasets are extremely valuable. In this work lead by @envir_scientist we look at trends in water quality over a >20 year period to see the effects of reduced flushing on eutrophication on the Coorong https://t.co/xWOFiQYUOg

[Luke Mosley @envir_scientist]

The Coorong is a special and unique estuary at the end of Australia's largest river system, in our new study we document how reduced flushing has led to a long term decline in its water quality and sediment health @UofA_SET @goyderinstitute @SAEnvirWater https://t.co/dlXuTBg1zX
