Abstract: The rapid growth of population and agricultural and industrial activities has caused an increase in demand on the Jeffara aquifers of Gabes (southeast Tunisia). In fact, the over-pumping of this aquifer system has resulted in water-level declines ranging from 0.25 to 1 m/year during the past three decades. The aim of this study is to identify favourable artificial recharge sites of this aquifer system based on the combined use of remotely sensed data, a geographic information system (GIS), the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) product and a multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) technique. The delineation of artificial recharge zones shows high to moderate potential for groundwater recharge (40%) in the Gabes region, with high precision of good potential proposed sites. Recharge processes need to account for natural conditions and ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a global overview of groundwater depletion by assessing groundwater recharge with a global hydrological model and subtracting estimates of groundwater abstraction, and they estimated the total global groundwater depletion to have increased from 126 (±32) km3 a−1 in 1960 to 283 (±40) km 3 a −1 in 2000.

Lineament, linear, lineation: Some proposed new standards for old terms
TL;DR: A lineament is a mappable, simple or composite linear feature of a surface, whose parts are aligned in a rectilinear or slightly curvilinear relationship and which differs distinctly from the patterns of adjacent features and presumably reflects a subsurface phenomenon as mentioned in this paper.
