dc.description.abstractThe study describes groundwater dynamics and water-body expansion in a 10-year flooding cycle in the agricultural lands of the Western Pampas. It analyzes water-table depth, surface water coverage, and rainfall (1996 to 2005). Ground and surface water dynamics were closely coupled. This connection, and the relatively slow process of cumulative water accretion and coalescence of water bodies that precedes flood events, together offer the opportunity of developing warning systems that could help land managers adapt to climate changes. However, the link differs between lowlands and highlands. It also depends on whether the system is at the gaining or retraction stage.en
