Question

Explain how groundwater is recharge.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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 2

Rainwater and water from nearby water sources, such as rivers and ponds, are used to recharge groundwater. Water seeps through the earth, filling the voids and fractures beneath the surface. Groundwater is replenished in this way.

Explanation

• Infiltration allows the groundwater to be refilled.
• The seepage of water from rivers and lakes into voids and fissures deep under the earth surface is known as infiltration.
• Rainwater and water from other sources, such as rivers and ponds, penetrates into the soil and fills the voids and fissures that exist deep under the surface.
• Infiltration describes the process of water seeping into the earth.
