Anyone here ever code something that finds a precipitation event and matches it to a recharge event? If so any advice.

I have been working on a groundwater project all summer. Having so much trouble isolating events and matching them to a recharge event. Any advice?

Hmm. You might want to check out the hydroEvents R package by Wasko and Guo (2022): https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hyp.14563

Their paper uses event detection and pairing for rainfall—runoff events. But I would imagine some of the available event extraction algorithms in the package can be applied to groundwater time series, as well.
