     abstract = "{Severe groundwater depletion has been reported in semi-arid regions of
        India due to intensive irrigation practices, declining rainfall
        trends, and limited natural recharge. In this context, Jalgaon
        district in North Maharashtra has been examined using GRACE
        satellite-derived groundwater storage anomalies (GWSA), which
        were integrated with hydrogeological, climatic, and geospatial
        datasets to assess groundwater recharge potential at a regional
        scale. A high-resolution recharge potential map was generated
        using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) within a GIS-based
        Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework. The results
        indicate that approximately 18.7\% of the area was classified as
        having high recharge potential, mainly along the Tapi River
        alluvium, lineament corridors, and zones with moderate soil
        permeability. Around 42.5\% of the area was identified with
        moderate recharge potential, while 38.8\% was delineated as low
        to very low, particularly within basaltic plateau regions that
        exhibit poor infiltration capacity. Groundwater anomalies
        derived from GRACE satellite data have displayed a declining
        trend of {\ensuremath{-}}1.2 to {\ensuremath{-}}2.5 m/decade,
        indicating unsustainable extraction. Pediplains and valley fills
        containing artificial recharge structures, such as check dams
        and percolation tanks, were observed to show relatively improved
        resilience. This study has contributed a scientific basis for
        prioritising micro-watershed level recharge interventions under
        programmes such as Jal Yukta Shivar Abhiyan and Atal Bhujal
        Yojana, with an emphasis on structurally favourable and
        hydrogeologically responsive zones to strengthen groundwater
        sustainability.}",
