DOI: 10.1016/j.jsames.2020.102928
Abstract: Abstract The economic activities of the Sonora strongly depend on groundwater extraction, which is generally of recent meteoric origin. Understanding the hydrological functioning in this semi-arid region, located in northwestern Mexico, is crucial for integrated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10256016.2023.2171032
Abstract: ABSTRACT A hydro-geochemical characterization was conducted in the northern part of the Sonora River basin, covering an area of 9400 km2. Equipotential lines indicated that groundwater circulation coincided with the surface water flow direction. Based on… read more here.
