Recharge
The process by which water is added to a zone of saturation, usually by percolation from the soil surface; e.g., the recharge of an aquifer.

Recharge zone: The area where a formation allows available water to enter the aquifer.
Recharge Area
A land area in which water reaches the zone of saturation from surface infiltration, e.g., where rainwater soaks through the earth to reach an aquifer.
Recharge Rate ...
Recharge area: Area of land allowing water to pass through it into an aquifer by surface infiltration.
recharge 1) Process by which rain water (precipitation) seeps into the groundwater system. 2) Process by which treated wastewater is introduced into groundwater (reuse).
Recharge. The physical process where water naturally percolates or sinks into a groundwater basin.
Recharge basin. A surface facility, often a large pond, used to increase the infiltration of surface water into a groundwater basin.
Recharge: Water added to an aquifer. For example, when rainwater seeps into the ground. Recharge may occur artificially through injection wells or by spreading water over groundwater reservoirs.
Recharge: downward movement of water through soil to ground water.
Recharge Area: land area over which precipitation infiltrates into soil and percolates downward to replenish an aquifer.
Recharge Area An area where rainwater soaks through the ground to reach an aquifer.
Recirculation Recycling water after it is used. Often it has to pass a wastewater purification system before it can be reused.
recharge area. Generally, an area that is connected with the underground aquifer(s) by a highly porous soil or rock layer. Water entering a recharge area may travel for miles underground.
basin recharge Rainfall which adds to the residual moisture of the basin in order to help recharge the water deficit. Water absorbed into the soil which does not take the form of direct runoff.
BAT Best available technology.
Recharge Area/Zone: Area in the aquifer where there are downward components of hydraulic head. In this area, infiltration travels downward into the deeper sections of the aquifer.
Recharge Rate: The quantity of water per unit of time that replenishes or refills an aquifer.
Recharge: The process by which water is added to a zone of saturation, usually by percolation from the soil surface; e.g., the recharge of an aquifer.
Recharge
The process of infiltration and migration, renewing the supply of groundwater.
Recharge Area ...
Recharge (Hydrologic) - (1) The downward movement of water through soil to groundwater. (2) The process by which water is added to the Zone of Saturation. (3) The introduction of surface or ground water to groundwater storage such as an aquifer.
Groundwater Recharge: Water that moves below the root zone as "deep percolation" and eventually joins the groundwater.
recharge when water enters the ground-water stores.
redds nesting sites where salmonids deposit and fertilize their eggs during spawning. Redds are constructed by the female (hen) in various sized gravels typical for each species.
aquifer recharge Recharge to an aquifer where water from the surface percolates into a bed of rock that yields water in useable quantities.
A artificial recharge (of groundwater)
Definition (english only)
Introduction of surface water into an underground aquifer through recharge wells.
The Problem of Rechargeable Batteries
Perhaps of greater concern nowadays is what's happening to spent rechargeable batteries from cell phones, MP3 players and laptops.
Groundwater is cheaper to treat, but aquifers usually have limited output and can take thousands of years to recharge.
Excess heat from the engine and/or from braking is used to recharge the electric motor while the vehicle is moving.
Wetlands frequently serve as recharge/discharge areas and are known as "nature's kidneys" since they help purify water.
electric vehicles - vehicles which use electricity (usually derived from batteries recharged from electrical outlets) as their power source.
emissions cap - a limit on the amount of greenhouse gases that a company or country can legally emit.
recharge The process by which water is added to a reservoir or zone of saturation, often by runoff or percolation from the soil surface.

Hybrid Electric Vehicle - Commonly referred to as a hybrid, this is a form of car that combines both a traditional gasoline-powered engine with a rechargeable energy storage system to achieve better fuel economy.
Withdrawal over a period of time of ground water that exceeds the rate of recharge of the aquifer.

Mining of an Aquifer: Withdrawal over a period of time of ground water that exceeds the rate of recharge of the aquifer.
Mining Waste: Residues resulting from the extraction of raw materials from the earth.
Above that distance a PHEV runs on a back-up fuel engine. They are called plug-ins because they are recharged by plugging into a standard electrical outlet. Technology for PHEVs is being refined to lower dependence on oil and reduce air pollution.
Semi-Confined Aquifer: An aquifer partially confined by soil layers of low permeability through which recharge and discharge can still occur.
