The groundwater recharge movement in India.

This paper looks at the historical evolution of the groundwater recharge movement in India, how it has gathered momentum, who has been responsible for it and what it has achieved to date. Through two contrasting case studies, it then highlights both the clear local benefits of artificial recharge and the potential for negative impacts at larger scales. Together these case studies show the potential gains and the governance problems that will necessarily follow the artificial recharge movement as it continues to move forward in India. The studies also provide some guidance in how artificial recharge can, and cannot, be used to solve groundwater problems.
