ABSTRACT

This paper deals with the results of a pilot project for groundwater recharge of the unconfined aquifer beneath the Bahar rural area, via thirteen deep boreholes and a storage structure. A three-dimensional, finite-difference groundwater flow model was developed for the Bahar aquifer as a tool to: (1) improve our conceptual understanding of groundwater flow in the region; (2) develop a management tool to support water planning; and (3) evaluate groundwater artificial recharge via thirteen deep boreholes and a storage structure.
