Ground Water Issues -- Artificial Recharge

Welcome to the USGS Ground Water Information Pages
These pages are designed to provide useful information about ground-water resources of the Nation and ground-water activities of the USGS.

Artificial Recharge

Artificial recharge occurs by direction of water to the land surface, for example through canals, irrigation furrows, or sprinkler systems, or by injection of water directly into the subsurface through wells.
