While the total water resources remaining same, the demand has been increasing continuously with time. As a result there is an indiscriminate development of groundwater in the country leading to the decline of groundwater levels causing adverse impact on environment. Consequently both central and state governments have recognized the need for artificial recharge. The process not only augments the resource, but can also improve the quality of water in saline and fluoride affected areas through dilution. There are several techniques for recharging the groundwater. Selection of the suitable technique depends on the subsurface formation and the availability of the recharging source. The Resistivity surveys can be effectively employed to select suitable sites and to get the information on thickness of overburden, aquifer geometry and hydraulic continuity of the aquifer, which will help in designing appropriate artificial recharge structures.
