Abstract

This paper presents the initial results of a recharge experiment that has been conducted in Wadi Ham, UAE. The system is composed of a 25 × 25 m open recharge basin and 8 monitoring wells located in the vicinity of the basin. To provide more control on the recharge conditions, the basin was then subdivided into a number of sub-basins. The initial results indicated very high infiltration rates with a low mound height. The site was found to be suitable for implementation of large scale recharge projects.
