Abstract
bstract: Artificial groundwater recharge aims at increasing the groundwater storage by modifying the natural movement of surface water with the help of suitable structures. It is a well-planned human endeavour to increase the amount of groundwater available through structures designed to increase the natural recharge or percolation of surface water into the water table, resulting in an improvement in the amount of groundwater available for withdrawal. The main objective of this technology is to conserve and augment groundwater resources in various parts of India, which includes maintaining or diverting floodwaters, controlling saltwater intrusion, storing water to reduce pumping, and improving groundwater quality by merging with naturally occurring groundwater. In areas where artificial recharge of groundwater is required, a variety of methods can be used, including water spreading, recharge pits and wells, and many other alternatives. The choice of methods generally depends on topographic, geologic, and soil conditions, the quantity and quality of water available for recharge, and the technical and financial feasibility and social acceptability of the measure. This paper discusses various recharge methods and several issues related to artificial recharge of groundwater
