    1. The study estimates groundwater recharge in the Azul Aquifer in central Buenos Aires province, Argentina using several conventional methodologies. 2. Estimates of annual groundwater recharge ranged from 10.3% to 16.4% of annual rainfall based on modeling, and was estimated at 6.4% using chloride ion mass balance analysis. 3. Conventional methods for estimating evapotranspiration may underestimate actual rates and thus underestimate groundwater recharge, which has implications for groundwater resource management.
