the ground water has a critical role in agriculture. Actually, the mean of annual drawdown is 2 meters and the wells> have more than 100 meters depth that neering to 250 meters.
Here, the different methods of artificial recharge are discussed with regard to watershed management. Finally, a combination of methods that can be applied in this area is presented.
