Answer 1

Answer:

Artificial recharge offers several potential advantages: · Aquifers may be used for the storage and distribution of water, and for removing contaminants by natural cleaning processes that take place as polluted rain and surface water infiltrate the soil and percolate down through the various geological formations.

Answer 2

Artificial recharge is the process of 'developing or impounding water' on the ground to improve the 'infiltration' through the soil and' percolation to the aquifer' or of injecting water by wells directly into the aquifer.

Explanation:

• As we know most of the water which is used in our day to day use is from the groundwater reserves and thus proper care and maintenance should be done if we need to think about the future.

• Artificial recharge also known as planned recharge is when surface water is made to infiltrate to the ground level to increase and replenish the groundwater level.

• In times of heavy rain when there is a water surplus then such extra water is stored in such a way.

• This method a very beneficial method because firstly it saves water, secondly it helps agriculture and irrigation processes when in need and lastly it reduces the expenditure of groundwater pumping.

Four advantages of artificial recharge

• Aquifers used for the 'storage and distribution of water'.

• Aquifer recharge 'systems are easy to operate'.

• It increase the 'sustainable water yield' of an 'aquifer significantly'

• It environmentally engaging, especially in arid regions.

• Very specialized equipment is required to 'construct drainage wells'.
