Fast depleting groundwater reserve can be restored by artificial recharge by bore well of 10 cm size easily installed by village artisans. In such wells recharge rate can be 1.5 to 1.75 litre/sec. Runoff water is to be filtered and then allowed to flow into aquifer through site-specific intake structures. A borewell installed structures.
