This video shows the testing process of artificial recharge in Prince Albert town in South Africa. The principle of artificial recharge is to transfer water underground via infiltration basins or boreholes when surplus water is available. The aquifers are rapidly replenished, and the water is held in storage for later use.
Advantages of the situation of Prince Albert municipality are highlighted, as well as the relatively simple and inexpensive technical part of artificial recharge.
