dc.description.abstractFuture groundwater recharge estimations are helpful tools for water resources management. However, there is a need for more information about it in many parts of the world, including the Portoviejo River watershed (PRW) in the West of Ecuador, a semi-arid zone with a water deficit where climate change impacts could increase pressure on groundwater resources. Geographical Information Systems were used in this paper, owing to their simplicity of inputs and accuracy of outputs, to estimate current and future (2021–2070) groundwater recharge in the PRW. The study is divided into two stages: 1) a runoff map based on soil permeability, land use, and terrain slope, and 2) current and future recharge calculations using the Thornthwaite and Mather water balance method. Future precipitation and temperature data from an ensemble of four Global Circulation Models were used as inputs, along with a map of runoff spatial distribution. The representative concentration pathways (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 were the climate change scenarios used in this study. The results showed that the location of the groundwater recharge zone would be impacted by future precipitation and temperature variability in both scenarios for the next fifty years. For the decade 2060–2070 and the scenario RCP 4.5, the highest recharge rate zones were located in the lowlands of the PRW surrounding Portoviejo city. In scenario RCP 8.5, the highest groundwater recharge areas increase considerably in the entire PRW. Currently, the highest groundwater recharge zones are in the highlands of the PRW. The future groundwater recharge scenarios provide information to decision-makers regarding land use, since the future groundwater recharge zones will be in the expansion areas of Portoviejo city.es
