Groundwater recharge is essential for sustaining water resources, particularly in regions experiencing water scarcity. This study compares natural and artificial groundwater recharge methods to evaluate their effectiveness, benefits, and limitations. By analyzing case studies, hydrological data, and recharge techniques, we provide insights into the optimal use of both methods for sustainable groundwater management.
