Groundwater Recharge

“How do groundwater aquifers get recharged?”
Millions if not billions of humans worldwide depend on groundwater for their daily needs. But how are supplies replenished so the aquifers don’t dry up? Well, water can seep in from the surface through a process called Groundwater Recharge. Groundwater recharge can occur by a variety of means, ranging from rainwater to surface runoff to river flow. Groundwater recharge is affected by climate change, and municipalities will need to take note.
