7 Artificial grounwater recharge. A recharging pit allow the rainwater to replinsh groundwater by recharging the underground aquifier’s. To increase infiltration. Borewell recharge
8 Introduction Scientific method of borewell recharge technique was first intiated by Zillah Panchayath of Chikkamagalur Dist . in Karnataka. Sankalpa Rural Development of Society by Sikandar in Hubli (2008), was promoting rainwater harvesting techniqe through direct borewell recharge. Cost of recharging each borewell through rainwater techniqe is 20,000 to 30,000 Rs .

Runoff water from the cultivated area enter into primary filter unit. Secondary filter unit consists of dug out of the soil around the borewell Casing pipe by 2.5m depth. From the bottom ,up to 50cm height, small holes (4-6mm) are made on the pipe with pointer and pipe is covered with mesh. 10 Working Principle of Borewell Recharging System
4layers of stones are filled 1 st layer-Boulders(30-40cm) 2 nd layer-Large stones(15-20cm) 3 rd layer-small stones(7.5cm) 4 th layer-gravel(2-4cm) Nylon net is covered Fill the pit with Wood Charcoal and Sand. Protection wall is built. 11
12 METHODS 1. Direct method
Where groundwater level are declining due to over exploitation. Water from the borewells slow down after some water has been drawn. Feed the selected borewell with 4000lts of water. Fill to the top Observe for 10-15mins for fall in water level Continuing feeding. 13 Testing for suitability
case I case II If the borewell overflows, If the borewell is it is not suitable. absorbs, it is suitable . 14 on feeding of water 4000-6000lts
2.Indirect method 15
16 Construction methods are fallows .. Dig the pit upto 3m around the bore
17 Holes of 4-6mm size are made on the casing pipe
18 Holes are covered by nylon mesh
19 30 cm of the pit is filled with the 30-40cm sized rough stones
20 Next 30cm is filled with the 15-20cm sized stones
21 Further 90 cm is filled with 7.5cm sized stones
22 Next 90 cm is filled with 2-4cm gravel
23 A strong nylon net is spread over the gravel
24 3 0cm is filled with sand over the nylon net.
25 A protection wall is constructed on upper side.
26 Once a year,top sand to be replaced
Local materials are used for filters Improves the water quality Quick recharge Evaporational loss is minimized Cost effective Eco friendly. 27 Benefits
28 Borewells Recharge in India.
The ground water recharge in treated borewell was found to be 23.8% of annual rainfall against 5.56% in untreated borewells . Effeciency of the designed filters was found to be 93% to 96% Maximum infiltration efficiency was absorved in recharged borewells . Borewell recharge techniques adopted in Karnataka ,Maharashtra, Andra pradesh . 29 conclusion
