Notes:
The increasing need for water has increased interest in artificial recharge by water-management agencies. An evaluation of current knowledge of processes and problems of artificial recharge indicates that a great deal of additional research is necessary before recharge feasibility can be evaluated in most situations. Experience in using recharge wells on the Southern High Plains of New Mexico and Texas indicates success when using good quality water, and failure when recharge water contains high concentrations of particulate matter. Surface spreading is a more suitable method when water has a high sediment content, but may not be feasible in some hydrogeologic situations. Theoretically, well construction is important to the success of injection recharge operations, but little experimental work exists to support this view. Results of recharge experiments on the Southern High Plains support these conclusions.
