The method of artificially increasing the rate of 'Groundwater Recharge' in the water cycle is called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rainwater harvesting and management

Answer: B, rainwater harvesting and management. Groundwater recharge means the downward movement of water through soil and permeable rock until it joins an underground water store called an aquifer. In a managed harvesting system, rainwater from roofs or land surfaces is collected and guided into recharge pits, trenches, percolation tanks, or suitable wells. This slows the water, gives it time to infiltrate, and helps restore the water table. A is incorrect because deforestation removes roots and leaf cover, usually increasing runoff and erosion while reducing infiltration. C is incorrect because faster runoff carries water away before it can enter the ground. D is incorrect because empty reservoirs do not themselves place water into aquifers. Memory cue: “Harvest rain, recharge below”; collection plus slow infiltration is the key.
