In this study, a detailed literature review on the existent Artificial Recharge -AR types suitable for arid and semi-arid region and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques, are used to identify the most suitable AR areas in the Kabul River Basin. The hydrological behaviour of AR is investigated and the design criteria are defined. Infiltration, evapotranspiration, retention capacity and other hydrological parameters connected with hydraulic risk, underground recharge, soil moisture, and run-off are particularly analysed. Some parameters including topography, geology, hydrography, climate variables, existing water infrastructures, and demography are used for the identification of potential AR areas in the KRB. The analysed parameters are classified, weighted, and thematic maps are developed in GIS environment.

Abstract
In this study, a detailed literature review on the existent Artificial Recharge -AR types suitable for arid and semi-arid region and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques, are used to identify the most suitable AR areas in the Kabul River Basin. The hydrological behaviour of AR is investigated and the design criteria are defined. Infiltration, evapotranspiration, retention capacity and other hydrological parameters connected with hydraulic risk, underground recharge, soil moisture, and run-off are particularly analysed. Some parameters including topography, geology, hydrography, climate variables, existing water infrastructures, and demography are used for the identification of potential AR areas in the KRB. The analysed parameters are classified, weighted, and thematic maps are developed in GIS environment.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
