Artificial Recharge
Artificial recharge is the practice of increasing by artificial means
the amount of water that enters a groundwater reservoir (Todd, 1959).
This includes, for example, direction of water to the land surface through
canals, irrigation furrows or sprinkler systems, and injection of water
into the subsurface through wells.
