The artificial recharge structures aim at augmentation of groundwater reservoir by modifying the natural movement of surface water utilizing suitable civil construction techniques. Artificial recharge techniques normally address following issues: • To enhance the sustainable yield in areas where overdevelopment has depleted the aquifer. • Conservation and storage of excess surface water for future requirements since these requirements often change within a season or a period. • To improve the quality of existing groundwater through dilution. • To remove bacteriological and other impurities from sewage and wastewater so that water is suitable for re-use. The basic purpose of artificial recharge of groundwater is to restore supplies from aquifers depleted due to excessive groundwater development.
