  2. Groundwater recharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater_recharge

    Groundwater recharge or deep drainage or deep percolation is a hydrologic process, where water moves downward from surface water to groundwater. Recharge is the primary method through which water enters an aquifer. This process usually occurs in the vadose zone below plant roots and is often expressed as a flux to the water table surface.

  5. Percolation - Wikipedia

    In coffee percolation, ... The water flows to recharge the groundwater in the water table and aquifers. ... is dug in the ground surface (usually 12–24" deep ...

  6. Groundwater banking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater_banking

    To determine the feasibility of groundwater banking each of the five factors were assigned a weight to how significant it was, and then a SAGBI score was calculated. [8] The weights were 27.5% deep percolation, 27.5% root zone residence time, 20% topography, 20% chemical limitations, and 5% surface conditions. [8]

  7. Vadose zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadose_zone

    Water in the vadose zone has a pressure head less than atmospheric pressure, and is retained by a combination of adhesion (funiculary groundwater), and capillary action (capillary groundwater). If the vadose zone envelops soil, the water contained therein is termed soil moisture. In fine grained soils, capillary action can cause the pores of ...

  8. Buried valley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buried_valley

    The main form of recharge found in buried valley aquifers occurs is the percolation of groundwater through glacial tills and upper intertill aquifers. [10] In fact, many communities in the Midwest get their water from aquifers that were created from these buried valleys, such as Miami, Ohio. [ 11 ]

  9. Infiltration basin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiltration_basin

    Recently completed infiltration basin for stormwater collection. An infiltration basin (or recharge basin) is a form of engineered sump [1] or percolation pond [2] that is used to manage stormwater runoff, prevent flooding and downstream erosion, and improve water quality in an adjacent river, stream, lake or bay.
