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.

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.

Process of seeping (flow or leak slowly through a porous material or small holes) of water into the ground is called infiltration. Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil.

Water not used by plants moves deeper into the ground. The top of the water in the soil, sand, or rocks is called the water table and the water that fills the empty spaces and cracks is called groundwater. Water seeping down from the land surface adds to the groundwater and is called recharge water.

Hence groundwater is recharged by infiltration.
