Generation

Groundwater recharge is the process by which water from precipitation, surface water bodies, or artificial sources percolates downward through soil and rock to replenish underground aquifers. This occurs when water infiltrates the surface and moves through the unsaturated zone until it reaches the water table. A key formula is the **water balance equation: R = P - ET - Q - ΔS**, where R is recharge, P is precipitation, ET is evapotranspiration, Q is surface runoff, and ΔS is change in soil moisture storage. Recharge rates depend on factors like soil permeability, land cover, precipitation intensity, and aquifer characteristics.
