Harvesting stormwater impacts groundwater recharge by allowing rainwater to infiltrate the soil and replenish aquifers. Instead of rapid runoff into water bodies, harvested stormwater is often directed to permeable surfaces or infiltration basins, promoting groundwater recharge.
This process helps maintain or restore groundwater levels, supporting sustainable water supply for wells and ecosystems. By mimicking natural hydrological processes, stormwater harvesting contributes to the overall health of aquifers and ensures a more balanced water cycle.
