Aquifer Recharge Areas

Aquifer recharge areas are specific regions where water from precipitation, rainfall, or surface water seeps into the ground, replenishing underground water supplies known as aquifers. These areas are vital for maintaining the availability of groundwater used for drinking, agriculture, and industry. The natural process involves water infiltrating the soil and rocks, gradually filtering and reaching the aquifer. Protecting recharge areas from pollution and overuse is essential to sustain healthy groundwater resources, ensuring clean and reliable water supply for communities and ecosystems.
