Short summary
River water can be used to refill depleted underground reserves impacted by climate change and human use. In this study, we assessed water quality in Bavaria's Günz River by analyzing watershed risks, using continuous monitoring, and conducting laboratory tests for pollutants. High flows showed strong dilution of almost all parameters. The results indicated that the river is a suitable source for groundwater recharge.
