Predicting infiltration and mounding, and managing problem soils

Artificial recharge of groundwater with fresh water and sewage effluent can be expected to increase worldwide. Techniques are presented to predict infiltration rates of soils for recharge system design, and to predict where groundwater must be pumped and to what depth to prevent undue groundwater rises in the recharge area. Less permeable soils can also be used for recharge if carefully managed.
