Recharging aquifers.

India has over 22 million bore-wells and its dependancy on groundwater is estimated at 65% of total water demand. Borewells are running deep and running dry. Artificial recharge through rainwater harvesting is one approach to top up bore-well waters alongwith demand management.
Rooftop rainwater harvesting, filtering the rainwater and then recharging it directly into the borewell is one approach. This experiment tries to understand how much rainwater can be directly fed into the bore-well during rains. Looks like a lot...

Thanks for posting this! We need to protect water all over the world for future generations!

[@zenrainman]

Dude thanks for your positive comments. We are enlightened but lighten up will you.:)

[@JAIBJRANGI]

Please treat rainwater as precious gift from mother nature and gather it during rainy season and use it for recharging borewell for sustained water supply.

[@pyropyro8713]

A bore in a river would fill up ground water all the time once you drill it.

[@mhchoudhurymd]

It is fun to watch your show.

[@mustlovedogs272]

Very important that these things are done. Dry wells, big and small, should be created as well.

[@fanofvikramaditya8396]

great work

[@riyadulislam663]

you should make an airtight pipe connection from your tank to the recharge well for continuous infiltration with high infiltration rate. And you can not say that recharge is balancing after only infiltrating for few minutes!

[@harshalpatil2416]

Why can't you take this concept at higher level....,?
It's really amazing technique for ground water recharging ...

[@getmyideas8164]

Thanks

[@TheCRONOS44]

Impresionante

[@jagadishkumar6450]

sir we are having the land of 2 acres in that we use to irrigate that land through bore well but now there is no water coming from bore well so when we use this method to recharge water how can we know whether it is recharged or not when all the quantity of water we inserted will flown out

[@santhoshhiremath5792]

Sir thank you, what is the best flow rate (in gallons for in flow) for making reacharge point.. Plz reply

[@sainathreddy8123]

we had drill the bore well yesterday we did got ar 130feets and again we didnt get any water till 600feets we can implement this process for recharging we can get the water from it

[@Chaitanyagore4u]

Sainath Reddy 😂yes

[@itsbhuppi]

Your neighbours are also going to get benefit

[@manoharreddyful]

What if the all the water goes inside and does not rise above at all? It means the borewell cannot be recharged?

[@pavanDommaraju]

can i know what have you achieved from this test. You just showed us steady state recharge by wasting one whole tanker which was obtained from ground water itself ???

[@zenrainman]

what we are trying to find out is whether a borewell will directly take in water for recharge and if so at what rate . With this and a given intensity of rainfall and a given catchment area we can design systems to filter and let in say rooftop rainwater directly into the borewell.

[@mindfreak001009]

i was thinking it serves as a priming just like in normal motor pump that you need to prime..lol

[@Chaitanyagore4u]

pavan kumar.. dude it is called percolation test or perc test...😂😂😂😂

[@csbhaci]

this is not the perfect way of recharge ! we should store rain water in an upper soil area and it flows downwards. if u put it in a down area it goes far down !

[@sandeeppatil6384]

While making Viedos , please ensure that accessories used by the workmen are in good shape and condition !!!

Kya fayda hota hai

[@maheshdon9296]

super

[@chaps9831]

what' the best way to recharge an existing borewell, we are thinking a 20ft, 1m dia hole about 6 ft from existing borewell ? Does this sound ok ?
Great info, thanks Zenrainman

[@qwopzxnm9643]

can I keep recharging an aquifer 24/7 ...With unlimited water supply...is there any downside to it....?

[@nyznaturalsheepandgoatfarm873]

Sir, maa farm lo 2 borewells are taking water inside but in one borewell water we are getting less water shall I harvest rain water both of that borewells.

[@sainathreddy8123]

can we recharge this aquifers of failuer bours cen we test the failuers bours we can get your water from it by recharging

[@zenrainman]

yes we can

[@henrycena7007]

I subscribed !!!!!!!!!

[@BillFromTheHill100]

Shut up

[@swamygangaram9613]

Very fint

[@getmyideas8164]

Good

[@BillFromTheHill100]

Could this pollute the aquifier?
It should glow through the sand to clean it

[@fitrianhidayat]

What? Why should it glow?

[@manojkamrarti8155]

without proper profile of aquifer, how can one ensure it to be successful. For aquifer, several parameters need to be fulfilled otherwise it will be sheer waste of funds, scarce rain water.

[@anandpaswananand9258]

Fayda hota hai kya

[@nandlalbiyani9131]

How to recharge failuar borewell

[@zenrainman]

@chaps9831 that should be fine

[@musicana333]

his accent is funny

[@cryptogyan1239]

Hello sir

[@vinodnayak3431]

Nim namber plzzz

[@eliskywalker3347]

bullshit test.
what parameters of a well?
screen section long
vertical and horizontal conductivity of aquifer
absolute level of water table
absolute level of screen section
without these and other parameters the test doesn't physical sense.
for recharging aquifer in this way, you need very clear water used. And you need special construction of injection well used. Otherwise the biofilm in the filter zone will be formed some time after.
