Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Climate change has a significant impact on water resources worldwide, leading to more unpredictable weather conditions and revealing the shortcomings of traditional water management methods. Prolonged droughts, increased storm activity, reduced snow cover, and changes in runoff dynamics pose additional challenges to ensuring water security. Traditional hydraulic structures, including dams and reservoirs, play an important role but are less likely to effectively distribute water at the local level, especially in arid regions. Agricultural irrigation methods such as AgMAR not only enable efficient water use but also replenish groundwater reserves, reducing dependence on surface sources. This study explores the potential implementation of Agricultural Managed Aquifer Recharge (AgMAR) in Kazakhstan. For modeling soil layers, water flow dynamics, and MAR principles, 3D visualization created with the PyVista library is used. The research results indicate that AgMAR has significant potential for irrigation and water resource management in rural areas. Key benefits include groundwater level stabilization, aquifer recharge during seasonal precipitation, improved groundwater quality, and increased freshwater availability.
