Shallow groundwater dynamics in the Pampas: climate, landscape and crop choice effects
A study in the western Pampas (2008-2013) found that while rainfall is the primary driver of inter-annual and seasonal water table fluctuations, crop choice (specifically wheat-soybean rotations) can partially mitigate seasonal risks like spring flooding. Topography determines the absolute depth of the water table but does not affect its relative fluctuations.
