Sumario:This paper presents the calculation of aquifer recharge in the lower sector of the Carcarañá river basin, provinces of Córdoba and Santa Fe, Argentina. In the first instance, five recharge zones were defined on the basis of an in-depth edaphological study of the soils, and the use of their capacity of use as a robust tool for delimitation and zoning was developed in a novel way. Based on the meteorological data collected, the study area was divided into three sectors, each represented by a locality (Oliveros, Casilda and Marcos Juárez). In each of these sectors, recharge was quantified by means of serial water balances applying the exponential method at a daily rate. For this purpose, and taking as input data the agro-hydrological variables of the soils, precipitation and potential daily evapotranspiration, a spreadsheet was implemented that provides daily, monthly and annual recharge values. As results for the period 1962-1966, the average recharge - precipitation ratio for the best recharge zone varied from 16.5 % in Oliveros to 6.5 % in Marcos Juárez.
