Groundwater recharge also encompasses water moving away from the water table farther into the saturated zone. [1] Recharge occurs both naturally (through the water cycle) and through anthropogenic processes (i.e., "artificial groundwater recharge"), where rainwater and/or reclaimed water is routed to the subsurface.
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.

The vadose zone (from the Latin word for "shallow"), also termed the unsaturated zone, is the part of Earth between the land surface and the top of the phreatic zone, the position at which the groundwater (the water in the soil's pores) is at atmospheric pressure. Hence, the vadose zone extends from the top of the ground surface to the water table.
Direct recharge is storing water by allowing it to percolate directly to storage in the groundwater basin. [1] With direct recharge it floods an area so that water seeps through the ground to get to the aquifers. [3] The water is then pumped out when there is more of a demand with the use of recovery wells. [3]
Precipitation and infiltration recharge the groundwater with an island. If rainfall recharge of an island aquifer is significant, the seepage zone might form and shift the interface towards the sea. Ghijben – Herzberg Principle can be used to estimate the depth of groundwater. [16] Confined Continental Coastal Aquifer
Hydrological factors at the soil surface determining the recharge. The primary coupling between groundwater and hydrological inputs is the unsaturated zone or vadose zone. The soil acts to partition hydrological inputs such as rainfall or snowmelt into surface runoff, soil moisture, evapotranspiration and groundwater recharge.
In addition to operational zones, the department has following zones for overall planning and management of irrigation operations: Drainage and Flood zone; Research zone; Development zone; Punjab Irrigation Department also manages Government Engineering Academy Punjab which provides pre-service and in-service training to irrigation engineers.
