  4. For those interested:

    I did a blog series on gemstone legends and folktales, in case you are curious what kinds of stories are out there 😊

    “A few days of rain does not change the low groundwater levels after a long drought. To better determine how groundwater systems recover after a drought and which groundwater reserves are most vulnerable, [a] hydrologist… developed a method to classify groundwater systems based on their ability to recover from long drought. With a very high resolution global groundwater model (1 kilometre) it was possible to determine and analyse how a groundwater system responds during a drought and how quickly it can recover. This provides policymakers with the means to better respond to or prevent severe groundwater problems in the future…”

    “[The author] investigated the various factors that make the groundwater recover or not after a period of drought by looking at a large range of groundwater drought events around the globe. Climate plays a major role, but at the local level the geology and landscape are additional important factors for drought recovery. Looking at these different drivers, [they were] able to make a classification in groundwater systems. It turned out that the majority of locations has resilient groundwater systems (57%), exhibiting rapid and robust recovery following droughts. Vulnerable (15%) and stable locations are shaped by geophysical constraints and heightened climate variability, whereas unstable regions (26%) are characterised by frequent, successive drought events leading to a reduced drought recovery capacity and strong impacts on the groundwater system…”
