Abstrakt: Extensive and poorly regulated groundwater extraction to cater to agricultural, industrial, and domestic needs has severely depleted natural groundwater levels in arid and semi-arid areas. Suitable artificial recharge structures can serve as viable options for increasing groundwater levels in areas dependent on aquifers as their water source. Potential sites and suitable artificial recharge structures were suggested to recharge the groundwater level of the study area. The paper’s aim is to facilitate an increase in aquifer recharge during non-rainfall days in the study area and contribute to sustainable groundwater conservation during periods of poor water availability by using remote sensing and GIS.
