Information gained from a literature search and from preliminary tests was used to design several artificial-recharge experiments in Nebraska from to In well experiments, billion gallons of water from an aquifer recharged by the Platte River was transported by pipeline and injected through a well into a sand and gravel aquifer near Aurora.

Water Resources Division.; Old West Regional Commission.; Nebraska Natural Resources Commission.; Nebraska Water Resources Center.]. This report presents the results of the first 2 years of a 4-year investigation of potential for artificial recharge and recharge methods that might be used to mitigate excessive aquifer depletion in Nebraska.

A Quaternary sand-and-gravel aquifer near Aurora, Nebr., was recharged by injecting water through a well at a rate of approximately gallons per minute for nearly 6 months.

and Geological Survey (U.S.). Artificial recharge of aquifers. Artificial recharge of aquifers. The use of artificial recharge to store surplus surface water underground can be expected to increase as growing populations demand more water, and as the number of good dam sites still available for construction becomes fewer.

For example, artificial recharge may be used to store treated sewage effluent and excess stormwater. In the broadest sense one can define artificial recharge as “any procedure, which introduces water in a previous stratum”. The term artificial recharge refers to transfer of surface water to the aquifer by human interference.

Artificial recharge is a process by which excess surface water is directed into the ground – either by. Artificial Recharge Artificial recharge (also known as aquifer re-injection) is the process of injecting (or recharging) water into the ground in a controlled way, by means of special recharge wells.

The water is pumped from the dewatering system and then piped to the recharge location, which may be a considerable distance away, where the water. guide on artificial recharge to ground water contents page no. introduction 1 - 3 2. planning of artificial recharge projects 3 - 9 3.

The necessity of artificial recharge of aquifers is increasing day by day due to excessive demand of water by the ever-growing population and also because of the scarcity of good dam sites available for construction. Artificial recharge of aquifer is the process of adding water to an aquifer through human effort.

The main purpose ofCited by: 2. The Joshua Basin Water District (JBWD) is implementing an artificial groundwater recharge program to reverse the decline of groundwater levels and to store water in the Joshua Tree groundwater subbasin of the Morongo groundwater basin (~ mi east of Los Angeles, CA).

One result of the growing competition for water is increased attention to the use of artificial recharge to augment ground water supplies.

Stated simply, artificial recharge is a process by which excess surface water is directed into the ground—either by spreading on the surface, by using recharge wells, or by altering natural conditions to increase infiltration—to replenish an aquifer. Aquifer Storage and Recovery Scientific and Technical Issues Historically and currently, spreading basins are the primary technique used for artificial recharge.

Ideally, basins are located in or adjacent to natural streams, have sand or gravel beds, and good hydrologic connection to a well-defined, high storage capacity aquifer. Additionally, another problem exists regarding recharge measures in Tianjin, which is the industrial center of Northern China and is situated in a soft soil area near the Bohai Sea, as shown in Fig.

ly, artificial recharge measures have been implemented at a few excavation sites in Tianjin (Zheng et al., ).However, the aquifers in Tianjin consist of silt and silty sand layers and Cited by: Groundwater recharge or deep drainage or deep percolation is a hydrologic process, where water moves downward from surface water to groundwater.

Recharge is the primary method through which water enters an aquifer. This process usually occurs in the vadose zone below plant roots and, is often expressed as a flux to the water table surface. Groundwater recharge also encompasses water moving away from the water table farther into the saturated zone.

Recharge. India has over 22 million bore-wells and its dependancy on groundwater is estimated at 65% of total water demand. Borewells are running deep and running dry. Artificial recharge.

Artificial recharge basics. Artificial recharge may be defined as the practice of artificially increasing the amount of water that enters a groundwater reservoir.

Artificial recharge has application in waste disposal, secondary oil recovery, and land subsidence problems, as well as water supply problems.Herman Bouwer Abstract Artificial recharge of groundwater is achieved by putting surface water in basins.

furrows, ditches, or other facilities where it infiltrates into the soil and moves downward to recharge aquifers. Artificial recharge is increasingly used for short- or long-term underground storage.WRI No 6 - Feasibility of artificial recharge to the Oakes aquifer, southeastern North Dakota: Ground Water data, volumes 1 and 2 - by Robert Shaver and Michael Hove, Plate 1 WRI No 7 - Feasibility of artificial recharge to the Oakes aquifer, southeastern North Dakota: Evaluation of experimental recharge basins - by William Schuh and.
