One of the growing concerns for scientists and engineers worldwide, engaged in the development and management of groundwater resources, is to manage efficiently this depleting resource. The key to successful groundwater recharge and discharge processes. Under suitable conditions it is possible to supplement the natural recharge of an aquifer so add to its safe yield capacity. This process is called artificial recharge. Precisely, artificial recharge is the process by which the groundwater reservoir is augmented at a rate exceeding that under natural conditions of replenishment.
Since rainwater harvesting and artificial recharge can play a major role in providing sustainability to drinking water sources, such activities can be taken up on a large scale by local communities as various kinds of rainwater harvesting structures through ages have been proved to be quite useful to the society constructed in different parts of the country worldwide.
