Direct Surface Groundwater Recharge

In direct groundwater recharge water moves from storage above-ground (e.g. a spreading basin or ditch) to the aquifer via soil percolation. Most of the existing large-scale artificial recharge schemes in Western countries make use of this technique. In general direct surface recharge systems based on percolation have relatively low construction costs and are easy to operate and maintain.
