This article discusses the problems of groundwater recharge, and its application in New Jersey, and how it will make a substantial contribution towards increasing the available total water supply in many parts of the state. The article presents a comparison with one of the oldest and largest recharge operations in California, the Santa Clara Valley Water Conservation District (San Jose, California), and demonstrates a number of similarities between the history, operations, and problems encountered in the California project with those encountered in New Jersey.
