recharge wells

Recharge wells are specially designed boreholes or vertical shafts that allow water, often collected from rain or streams, to be intentionally poured into underground aquifers. They help replenish groundwater supplies, especially in areas where natural recharge is insufficient due to overuse or drought. By increasing underground water levels, recharge wells support sustainable water management, prevent land subsidence, and maintain water availability for agriculture, industry, and communities. Properly constructed and managed, they are an effective method to enhance groundwater resources and ensure long-term water security.
