What is 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.

What does a pumping well do?

The well pump, or water pump, is the heart of the system. It is what pumps water upward and into the household or designated water system. The two most popular types of pumps used today are jet pumps and submersible pumps. Both pumps rely on centrifugal force in order to force water upward.
