Recharge Wells

Recharge or injection wells are subsurface groundwater recharge techniques used to directly discharge water into deep water-bearing zones. Recharge wells can be cased with the material covering the aquifer. If this material is unconsolidated, a screen can be placed in the well in the zone of injection. Recharge wells are suitable only in areas where a thick impervious layer exists between the surface of the soil and the aquifer that is to be replenished. They are also advantageous in areas where land is scarce (as <a href="/node/2022" class="internal-link">surface groundwater recharge</a> requires large areas for infiltration). A relatively high rate of recharge can be attained with this method.
