North western states of India such as Punjab, Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh, Western
states such as Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra and Southern states such as Tamil Nadu,
Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh have most of the over-exploited, critical and semi-critical
blocks as groundwater development is concerned. The sustainability of agriculture in these
states is linked with sustainable development of groundwater resources. Groundwater
recharge is very much required to replenish depleting groundwater resources and
improving their qualities. The recharge techniques are location specific and depend on
local hydro-geological, topographical and rainfall conditions. Success of recharge
programmes depends on identification of suitable areas and structures for recharge.
Sometimes integration of surface and subsurface recharge techniques is required to
achieve desired results. Indirect recharge techniques such as induced recharge, aquifer
modifications, and subsurface dams can also contribute significantly at some locations.
There is great possibility of using abandoned groundwater structures/ shallow tube wells
and open wells for enhancing ground recharge with small investment on filtration
chambers both in hard rock and alluvial areas. Besides, improving the availability of water
in lean period, groundwater recharge reduces the damage due to floods and water logging.
Groundwater recharge with multiple objectives can make investment on groundwater
recharge economically viable. People participation is important for ensuring the success of
recharge programmes.
