Experiments of the artificial-recharge rate of sand and gravel aquifer through shallow recharge wells in the Chao Phraya River basin region
The aquifers in the Chao Phraya River basin region were abundant in groundwater. Lately, the groundwater level has been declining due to agricultural activities. While in the wet season, these areas frequently suffered from flooding due to lower elevation than their surroundings. The Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) methods were applied to ease problems by constructing artificial recharge wells which can detain stormwater runoff and let it gradually infiltrate into the aquifer directly.
