Field performance of shallow recharge well

Abstract

The technical calculation of the need for recharge wells to reduce peak floods has not been fully supported yet the need for recharge wells in big cities especially in Indonesia is very urgent. Some recharge well methods are Horton, Sunjoto, HMTL-ITB, Ministry of Public Works, Ministry of Forestry, Indonesian National Standard, Association for Rainwater Storage and Infiltration Technology, and California Storm-water Quality Association. The hypothetical test of recharge wells at the depth and texture of a particular soil is different from the observed infiltration recharge hence it needs to have a field test of recharge wells for different soil texture. With good diameter, soil permeability, and water depth variables, it is expected that the infiltration recharge equation in the well can be empirically better suited to the performance of the recharge wells.
