Groundwater recharge formation in the Heihe intermountain artesian basin

Lei Wei

Abstract

The Heihe intermountain artesian basin is situated in northwestern China. The basic types of formation of groundwater recharge have been identified, viz., the percolation of river waters in the mountain regions and infiltration from irrigation canals and fields in the plain areas with a well-developed irrigation system. Such sources account for about 90% of the overall groundwater recharge.
