Abstract
AbstractIn 1957, the High Plains Research Foundation, Plainview, Texas, initiated a full scale program to investigate all factors affecting the recharge of surface water to the ground‐water formation. Some of the factors being investigated and studied are: rate of recharge, effects of solids contained in the lake water being recharged, maintenance practices, and evaluation of different filtering materials. This program was started because of concern about the declining water table and the potential of the lakes as a means of recharging the formation.Artificial ground‐water recharge in the High Plains is accomplished by injecting water collected in playa lakes into a well constructed for this purpose. Either by gravity or pumping, water is placed back into the underground formation through the well casing in reverse of the pumping process. These wells can be used for irrigation crops as regular irrigation wells.
