Question

what is the meaning of percolation tanks

Answer 1

Hi,

The downward movement of the water through the soil due to force of gravity is termed as Percolation. Percolation tanks are the structures for recharging ground water. These are generally constructed across streams and bigger gullies in order to impound a part of the run-off water. This water, in due course, finds its way into subsoil and recharges the found water. This leads to better recuperation of wells in the downstream areas.

Answer 2

Percolation tank is an artificially created surface water body, submerging in its reservoir a highly permeable land, so that surface runoff is made to percolate and recharge the ground water storage.
