GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Conservation of rainwater replenishes groundwater by allowing rainwater to enter the earth instead of pouring on impenetrable paved roads and sidewalks into stormwater drains. Rainwater harvesting is the best way to conserve rainwater to replenish depleting groundwater.

Detailed explanation-2: -Groundwater supplies are replenished, or recharged, by rain and snow melt that seeps down into the cracks and crevices beneath the land’s surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -Groundwater recharge or deep drainage or deep percolation is a hydrologic process, where water moves downward from surface water to groundwater. Recharge is the primary method through which water enters an aquifer.
