You have to be long term thinking but this is my use of Processes to keep our water safe for the future use on all. We have started a sensitive recharge system in an used pit. The worms will love this one with potatoes and Alfalfa. We are adding a gravel filled recharge system to the pit for recharging the aquifer under the JAL Ranch.
Just as thought, BiMetalAuPt PS: *I am adding the third "Worm Hotel" that will be 50% Deeper and 25% taller( above ground) for the Mix of EH and LT with a gravel sub basements. Now we will have the "Twin Worm Towers"! Home of 10,000 EH and 18 LT.
Groundwater is recharged naturally by rain and snow melt and to a smaller extent by surface water (rivers and lakes). Recharge may be impeded somewhat by human activities including paving, development, or logging. These activities can result in loss of topsoil resulting in reduced water infiltration, enhanced surface runoff and reduction in recharge. Use of groundwaters, especially for irrigation, may also lower the water tables. Groundwater recharge is an important process for sustainable groundwater management, since the volume-rate abstracted from an aquifer in the long term should be less than or equal to the volume-rate that is recharged.
Recharge can help move excess salts that accumulate in the root zone to deeper soil layers, or into the groundwater system. Tree roots increase water saturation into groundwater reducing water runoff.[1] Flooding temporarily increases river bed permeability by moving clay soils downstream, and this increases aquifer recharge.[2]
Artificial groundwater recharge is becoming increasingly important in India, where over-pumping of groundwater by farmers has led to underground resources becoming depleted. In 2007, on the recommendations of the International Water Management Institute, the Indian government allocated Rs 1800 crore (US$400million) to fund dug-well recharge projects (a dug-well is a wide, shallow well, often lined with concrete) in 100 districts within seven states where water stored in hard-rock aquifers had been over-exploited. Another environmental issue is the disposal of waste through the water flux such as dairy farms, industrial, and urban runoff.

Nice, just another way in which NA is set to lead in the next phase of evolution.

In the oil patch keeping water fresh is not cheap. This is just one of the oil spills we remuneration on the JAL has been or is being tested. It takes a lot of moisture holding paper compost and rich peat moss containing " Black Gold" You can see a year old :Water Basin" that has A FOOT DEEP.LAYER OF CYPRUS WOOD MULCH. This fall we have a 3 foot X3 foot X one foot high riser to add 9 cubic feet more of paper Slurry and Scott's Moisture advantage with E. Hortensis and 15 lbs Corn meal. This is not cheap but the effort will increase WATER RESERVES IN THE LONG RUN. This system also saves space in the landfills.
