Groundwater recharge in a farming area in India was studied to see how much rainwater goes into the groundwater. By measuring water levels and rainfall over four years, researchers found that about 11-13% of the rainwater becomes groundwater. Heavy rains make groundwater levels rise, leading to more recharge. Deeper groundwater before the rainy season means more recharge in the area.
