| Abstract | Artificial recharge of groundwater is needed to alleviate the adverse effect of groundwater depletion. Recharge canals and pits are simple recharge structures, but their hydraulics is not so simple. Computation of recharge rates and head distribution is necessary for the design and operation of the recharge facilities. Numerical models have been developed for different cases of recharge systems. The models are applicable to nonhomogeneous and anisotropic conditions. From the models, estimates can be made of steady and unsteady flow characteristics from recharge canals and pits which may of may not fully penetrate the confined aquifer. A numerical model is also developed for the case of two aquifers system with a spaced gap in the intervening aquitard. Various dimensionless curves have been obtained through dimensional analysis, which could be useful in practical design problems. |
