Aquifer recharge is a basic ...

Aquifer recharge is a basic process once established the right location of the aquifer recharge zone and you are able to transport (gravity, pressure, pump) the flow to that point. You do have two main options:

1- If you are talking about a very local aquifer and household pumping wells: You can select and use a pumping well to pump water into the aquifer through it. You need to be sure selected pumping well is really connected to the aquifer you will use after. It is important to use clean water previously filtered ensuring sediments will not clog the pumping well screen or gravel filter. The "Transmissivity" of the aquifer will determine your recharge method as a function of your recharge flow and time. Be sure of the quality of recharge water.

2- If you are talking about a pumping field for water service: The best option is to contract a hydrogeological study including geological/geophysical prospection, conceptual model update, hydraulic properties determination/update, numerical model update, and management scenarios simulation. Climate change is running and you will need a management tool to ensure long-term sustainable use of groundwater. This study will tell you recharge points location, recharge flow, quality of recharge water and maximum pumping flow to guarantee a constant piezometric level or water table.

Good luck with your project.
