Sand filtration boosts groundwater recharge, combating water scarcity in India.
Groundwater recharge is crucial to combat declining water tables in India. Researchers have found that combining artificial recharge methods with sand-based filtration systems can improve efficiency. Coarse sand is the best material for trapping impurities in stormwater, enhancing the quality of recharged water. Varying the size and position of sand particles can optimize filtration unit performance. Studies worldwide support the use of sand-based filtration systems for groundwater recharge.
