Explain how groundwater is recharged.
The groundwater gets recharged through the process of infiltration.
Infiltration means the seeping of water from rivers and lakes into the empty spaces and cracks deep below the ground.
[Extra information: As the name suggests, groundwater is the water present under the ground that is below the Earth's surface. It is cheaper than surface water, more convenient, and less prone to contamination. It is the only form of water that is suitable for drinking. By drilling or digging a well or by pumping, groundwater can be procured. But overpumping lowers the level of water and increases the soil's salinity.
Infiltration: Infiltration is the process of recharging soil water by which the water seeps from rivers and lakes into the empty spaces and cracks deep below the ground. The rate of infiltration is the measure of the rate at which rainfall or irrigation can be absorbed by the soil.
