Dear Amit,
What is the construction of POND?
What is the daily activity in the pond or is it a restricted area?
If it is a lined pond or if it is restricted area and can have mineral layers making it impervious, then, Pond will not contribute tyo recharge of ground water as happens in case of Rajasthan and Kutch area ponds.However, if cattle and men are allowed to go into the pond and its surface is unlined, deep percolation shall take place and you can estimate the peak storage plus subsequent inflows less daily surface evaporation and subtract the minimum level to arrive at possible recharge.
If you want to recharge ground water, you should inject water into the borehole with pvc strainer duly screened, filled with gravel and sand and allow injection to the extent you want water to go into the acquifer.
