Fig. 8. (A) Model-predicted recharge (downward flux across the water table) with time since the hydraulic transition for the base simulation (dotted line) and for the simulation with a +30-m water table between t = 0 and 8 kyr (dash-dot line). (B) Contemporary modeled sub-root zone water (liquid and vapor) fluxes for the +30-m water table simulation are nearly equivalent to t = 13 kyr fluxes for the base simulation. Negative values in (B) indicate downward fluxes. Net = liquid + vapor.
