The calculated soil moisture anomaly for the US shows extremely dry conditions across the eastern US. The soil moisture is lowest across eastern Texas to northwestern Mississippi and also in southwest Georgia.

With spring planting to begin soon, more moisture is needed for crop germination.

Soil Moisture and Vegetation are Key Predictors of Precipitation-driven Groundwater Recharge Occurrences in Southeastern Australia

Akhilesh Kumar has the first output from his PhD research available as a preprint:
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5956885

These are his words:

"I am excited to share the first results from my PhD. The study looked at important predictors of groundwater recharge occurrences.

The hydrogeologist community mostly agrees on variables that are important for predicting when groundwater recharge happens but what we are less certain about is the extent of how important these variables are and even less so on if there is a cause-and-effect relationship between them and recharge occurrences.

In this study we investigated the correlation, mutual as well as causal aspects of this relationship and found that soil saturation and vegetation are strongest predictors while rainfall is strong predictor at 6-7 days of cumulative accumulation.

A big thank you to the NGROS team for their valuable contributions and to my co-authors!!! 🙌 "

Soil Moisture and Vegetation are Key Predictors of Precipitation-driven Groundwater Recharge Occurrences in Southeastern Australia

Rainfall is commonly recognized as the primary control on groundwater recharge; however, rainfall alone often fails to predict recharge occurrences accurately i
