This document discusses artificial groundwater recharge. It begins by defining artificial recharge as augmenting groundwater at a higher rate than natural conditions. Areas suitable for recharge are identified as those with declining water levels. Methods of recharge discussed include surface spreading using basins and tanks, as well as sub-surface techniques like recharge wells, pits, and shafts. Induced recharge is also covered. The document concludes that artificial recharge can increase groundwater availability and quality while reducing runoff, though sustainable management is still needed.

Rain Water Harvesting And Artificial Recharge Of Groundwaterpartha sharma
Water harvesting can be traced back through human history almost as far as the origins of agriculture. Water harvesting is defined as the redirection and productive use of rainfall.
Groundwater recharge or deep drainage or deep percolation is a hydrologic process where water moves downward from surface water to groundwater. Recharge is the primary method through which water enters an aquifer. This process usually occurs in the vadose zone below plant roots and is often expressed as a flux to the water table surface. Recharge occurs both naturally (through the water cycle) and through anthropogenic processes (i.e., "artificial groundwater recharge"), where rainwater and or reclaimed water is routed to the subsurface.

GROUND WATER RECHARGE TECHNIQUES BY CH.APPARAO (Research Associate, ARS, ATP)Apparao Chodisetti
Ground water recharge is the process whereby the amount of water present in or flowing through the interstices of the sub-soil increases by natural or artificial means. Rainfall is the principal source for replenishment of recharge of ground water. Other sources include recharge from rivers, streams, irrigation water etc. An unconfined aquifer is recharged directly by local rainfall, rivers, and lakes, and the rate of recharge will be influenced by the permeability of overlying rocks and soils. A confined aquifer, on the other hand, is characterized by an overlying bed that is impermeable, and local rainfall does not influence the aquifer. It is normally recharged from lakes, rivers, and rainfall that may occur at distances ranging from a few kilometers to thousands of kilometers.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

3. What Is Artificial Recharge
Artificial recharge is the process by which
the ground water is augmented at a rate
much higher than those under natural
condition of percolation.
4. Why Artificial Recharge
In most low rainfall areas of the country the
availability of utilizable surface water is so low that
people have to depend largely on ground water for
agriculture and domestic use.
So in order to improve the ground water situation
it is necessary to artificially recharge the depleted
ground water aquifers.
5. Identification Of Areas For Recharge
• Where ground water levels are declining due to
over-exploitation .
• Where substantial part of the aquifer has already
been desaturated i.e. regeneration of water in wells
and hand pumps is slow after some water has been
drawn .
• Where availability of water from wells and hand
pumps is inadequate during the lean months.
• Where ground water quality is poor and there is no
alternative source of water.
6. Quality Of Source Water
Problems which arise as a result of recharge to ground
water are mainly related to the quality of raw waters that
are available for recharge and which generally require some
sort of treatment before being used in recharge
installations.
A major requirement for waters that are to be used in
recharge projects is that they be silt- free.
7. Advantages Of Artificial Recharge
1. To enhance the groundwater yield in depleted the
aquifer due to urbanization.
2. Conservation and storage of excess surface water for
future requirements
3. To improve the quality of existing groundwater
through dilution.
4. To remove bacteriological and other impurities from
sewage and waste water by natural filtration, so that
water is suitable for re-use
8. Methods Of Artificial Recharge
Artificial recharge is the
process by which the
ground water is
augmented at a rate
much higher than those
under natural condition
of replenishment.
The techniques of
artificial recharge can be
broadly categorized as
follows:
9. Surface (Spreading) Method
These methods are suitable where
large area of basin is available and
aquifers are unconfined without
impervious layer above it.
The rate of infiltration depend on
nature of top soil if soil is sandy the
infiltration will be higher then those
of silty soil.
The presence of solid suspension in
water used for recharge clogs the
soil pores leading to reduction in

Figure 1 : Surface Spreading Basin
infiltration rate i.e. recharge rate.
Water quality also affects the rate of
infiltration. The various spreading
methods are as below:-
10. 1. Flooding
This method is suitable for
relatively flat topography.
The water is spread as a
thin sheet.
It requires a system of
distribution channel for
the supply of water for
flooding.
Higher rate of vertical
infiltration is obtained on
areas with undisturbed
vegetation and sandy soil
covering.
11. 2.Basin & Percolation Tanks
This is the most common
Source: www.indiawaterportal.org
Figure 2 : Percolation Tank
method for artificial recharge.
In this method, water is
impounded in series of basins or
percolation tank.
The size of basin may depend
upon the topography of area, in
flatter area will have large basin.
This method is applicable in
alluvial area as well as hard rock
formation.
The efficiency and feasibility of
this method is more in hard
rock formation where the rocks
are highly fractured and
weathered.
12. 3. Stream Augmentation
Source: www.indiawaterportal.
Figure
3 : Check dam
Seepage from natural streams or rivers is
one of the most important source of
recharge of the ground water reservoir.
When total water supply available in a
stream / river exceeds the rate of
infiltration, the excess is lost as run off.
This run off can be arrested through
check bunds or widening the steam beds
thus larger area is available to spread the
river water increasing the infiltration.
The site selected for check dam should
have sufficient thickness of permeable
bed or weathered formation to facilitate
recharge of stored water within short
span of time.
The water stored in these structures is
mostly confined to stream course and
height is normally less than 2 m. To
harness maximum run off, a series of
such check dam may be constructed.
13. 4. Ditch & Furrow System
In areas with irregular
topography ditches or furrow
provide maximum water
contact area for recharge.
This technique consists of a
system of shallow flat
bottomed and closely spaced
ditches / furrow which are
used to carry water from
source like stream /canals
and provide more percolation
opportunity.
Source: megphed.gov.in
This technique required less
soil preparation and is less
Figure 4 : Ditch and Furrow System
sensitive to silting.
14. B.Sub-Surface Method
In this method the
Source: www.indiawaterportal.org
Figure 5 : sub surface method
structure lies below the
surface and recharges
ground water directly.
The important structures
commonly use are
Recharge wells, Recharge
shaft, Dug wells etc.
15. 1.Recharge Well
Recharge wells can be of
Source:www.ngwa.org
Figure 6 : Injection well
two types (a) Injection well, where
water is “pumped in” for
recharge and
(b) Recharge well, where
water flows under
gravity.
16. (a) Injection Well
The Injection wells are similar
Source: www.ngwa.org
Figure (7) : Injection well
to a tube well.
This technique is suitable for
augmenting the ground water
storage of deeper aquifers by
“pumping in” treated surface
water.
These wells can be used as
pumping wells during summers.
The method is suitable to
recharge single aquifer or
multiple aquifers.
The recharge through this
technique is comparatively
costlier and required specialized
technique
17. (b) Recharge Well
The recharge well for shallow water
table aquifers up to 50 m are cost
effective because recharge can take
place under gravity flow only.
These wells could be of two types,
one is dry and another is wet.
The dry types of wells have bottom
of screen above the water table. In
such wells excessive clogging is
reported due to release of dissolved
gasses as water leaves the well and
Source: www.indiawaterportal.org
Figure 8 : Simple Recharge well
on other hand redevelopment
methods have not been found
effective in dry type of wells.
The wet type of wells are the wells in
which screen is kept below water
table. These wet type wells have
been found more successful.
18. 2.Pits & Shafts
In area where impervious layer is
encountered at shallow depth the
pits & shafts are suitable structure
for artificial recharge.
These structures are cost effective to
recharge the aquifer directly.
The diameter of shaft should
normally be more than 2 m to
accommodate more water.
The advantage of shafts / pits
structure is that they do not require
Source: megphed.gov.in
Figure( 9) : Vertical recharge shaft
large piece of land like percolation
tank & other spreading method
there are practically no losses of
water in form of soil moisture and
evaporation like other methods of
spreading.
19. 3. Dug Wells
In alluvial as well as hard rock
areas there are thousand of dug
wells have either gone dry due to
considerable decline of water
levels.
These dug wells can be used as
recharge structure storm water
and other surplus water from
canal etc. can be diverted into
these structures to directly
recharge the dried aquifer.
Source: megphed.gov.in
The water for recharge should be
guided through a pipe to the
Figure (10) : Recharge through Dug Wells
bottom of well to avoid
entrapment of bubbles in the
aquifer.
20. C. Induced Recharge
It is an indirect method of
Source: megphed.gov.in
Figure (11): Induced Recharge
artificial recharge involving
pumping from aquifer
hydraulically connected with
surface water such as perennial
streams, unlined canal or lakes.
The heavy pumping lowers the
ground water level and cone of
depression is created. Lowering
of water levels induces the
surface water to replenish the
ground water.
This method is effective where
steam bed is connected to
aquifer by sandy formation.
21. Conclusion
Thus it can be concluded that artificial recharge give
the reduction of runoff, increased availability of
ground water especially in summer month, increase in
irrigation, revival of springs, improvement in ground
water quality. Yet even with full development of
artificial recharge, ground availability would remain
limited. Though ground water recharge scheme either
naturally or artificially may not be the final answer, but
they do call for the community effort and create the
spirit of cooperation needed to subsequently manage
sustainably ground water as a community resource.
