Site evaluation for managed aquifer recharge

In the present study suitable site selection for advanced groundwater recharge method of soil aquifer treatment was done. Soil aquifer treatment comes under the category of managed aquifer recharge system. This method works more efficiently, inexpensive and acts as seasonal storage system during dry periods. Recommendation of soil aquifer treatment sites within the proposed decentralized treatment plant sites was done based on the evaluation of field parameters. The field parameters considered are aquifer quality, water table depth, soil salinity and soil texture for every proposed decentralized treatment plant (DTP) sites.
