INFILTRATION
BASINS
Large depressions or basins constructed to capture surface
water (rainfall, stormwater, or treated wastewater) and allow it
to percolate into the soil.
Feasible in : Sandy, arid or semi-arid areas
Not Feasible for : Karst Regions or Dense Urban areas
Area : Less than 10 acres ( Mainly 5 acres )
Infiltration Rate of Soil used : 0.5 – 3 Inches/hr
Clay Content in Soil used : Less than 20 %
Minimum distance between Water Table and Bottom of
Basin : 4 ft
Bottom of the basin should be covered with gravel or
courser sand.
Side slopes should be less and planted.
Case Study : Korattur Lake in Chennai – Increase in
Groundwater table to 2-3m along with better flood control
was observed.
FLOODING
Water is spread over flat land to allow natural infiltration.
This method is commonly used in agricultural areas.

CONCLUSION
Recharge System is a great approach to save water for the future. Artificial
groundwater recharge technology is an important technology to increase water table
and groundwater availability. It plays a crucial role in the reduction of surface runoff,
increase availability of water for irrigation, domestic and industrial sector, improve
the drainage, revival of springs and improvement of groundwater quality and so on. It
is also considered to mitigate the impacts of variability in rainfall patterns under
varying climatic conditions. Additionally, it is primarily important to meet the demand
of spatial water productivity and availability at regional and global scale.
