I am deeply concerned with your method and advise that you reconsider. If your water quality is not drinking water quality or better, you risk introducing contaminants into the aquifer that can have negative effects for years to come. If you wish to only filter storm or rain water and not disinfect and remove soluble pollutants, please do not inject directly into the aquifer through wells. There are many instances where pollutants have been inadvertently introduced into an aquifer only to show up again far downstream in drinking water wells. If this aquifer is to be used for drinking water, please do not inject unpurified water into it.

Thank you for your advice. We shall consider this while implementing the RWH projects.
