Rainwater Recycling through Artificial Ground Water Recharging

Abstract

Rainwater Recycling Through Artificial Ground Water Recharging The ground water potential of Chidambaram Taluk in general is good but the quality is the main constraint in major parts of the Taluk. In the western parts of both Keerapalayam and Bhuvanagiri unions, the quality of ground water is good.

The quality of deep confined aquifers encountered at the depths of 160 to 180 meters below ground level, in and around Chidambaram town area, is fresh in nature, potable and suitable for irrigation and drinking purposes. Artificial recharge is necessary, to maintain or augment natural ground water as an economic resources, to combat progressive depletion of ground water levels, to combat unfavorable salt balance and saline water intrusion.
