Abstract
Natural recharge is a vital parameter to be known for ground water budgeting, management and modelling. Percolation of a portion of the rainfall, through the vadose zone, is the principal source of natural recharge to the aquifer systems in India. The tritium injection method, based on piston flow model, is particularly suitable for quantifying the downward flux of moisture in the vadose zone and for measuring natural recharge in Indian climatic condition, where about 80% of the annual rainfall is received as pulses and occurs during the four monsoon months from June to September. Natural recharge measurements, using the tritium injection method, have been carried out in India during the last 25 years, in several basins and watersheds, located in varying climatic and hydrogeological situations. At present, groundwater contributes 34% of the total annual water supply and is an important fresh water resource. However, over-exploitation has decreased groundwater availability and has led to land subsidence. Assessing the potential zone of groundwater recharge is extremely important for the protection of water quality and the management of groundwater systems.
