Regional Assessment of Recharge Elevation of Tap Water Sources Using the Isoscape Approach

The importance of mountains as "natural water towers" has been quantified by comparing water budgets in upstream (mountain) and downstream (lowland) areas, but their importance for tap water supplies has not been assessed. Here, we propose an isoscape approach to estimate the mean recharge...
