Question

ਪ੍ਰਸ਼ਨ 5 | Explain how ground water is
recharged? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

groundwater recharge occurs as precipitation falls on the land surface, infiltrates into soils, and moves through pore spaces down to the water table. Natural recharge also can occur as surface-water leakage from rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands.

Answer 2

Answer:

Groundwater is recharged naturally by rain and snow melt and to a smaller extent by surface water (rivers and lakes). ... Recharge can help move excess salts that accumulate in the root zone to deeper soil layers, or into the groundwater system. Tree roots increase water saturation into groundwater reducing water runoff.
