| Rain or other water that falls in the contributing zone is carried by the creeks into the recharge zone, where some of it enters the aquifer. |
|
| The presence of the recharge zone and its particular location within the riparian states raises critical issues of control. |
|
| Water enters the aquifer system as it drains into cracks and crevasses in the aquifer recharge zone. |
|
| Most recharge to the Edwards aquifer results from the percolation of streamflow loss and the infiltration of precipitation through porous parts of the recharge zone. |
|
| Recharge takes place most often through the unsaturated zone, either overlying an unconfined aquifer or in the recharge zone of a confined aquifer. |
|
| Nearly all agricultural areas and much of San Antonio, the only urban area large enough to affect water quality regionally, overlie the confined zone rather than the recharge zone. |
|
| The dispute has prompted some city officials to begin asking how development should be handled over the aquifer's recharge zone. |
|
| The recharge zone may occur above the aquifer or in the immediate vicinity thereof. |
|
| The recharge zone is the space through which the water infiltrates and travels until it reaches the aquifer. |
|
| Changes affecting the recharge zone, such as its becoming impermeable, may adversely in their turn affect the use made of the aquifer. |
|
| However, it is necessary to be more precise on certain aspects of draft article 10, as there is a debate about what really constitutes a recharge zone. |
|
| The aquifer serves as a recharge zone for the groundwater stores in southeastern Queens that could provide an important backup supply for the city in a drought. |
|
| It is important to underline this point in the present study, since the recharge zone may be separated from the aquifer by an international frontier. |
|
| However, it was decided that the obligation to protect the recharge zone from polluting the aquifers would fit better in the context of draft article 11, which deals specifically with pollution. |
|
| Reeds being dried in preparation for use in construction, in the Caprivi region of northern Namibia This mountainous region along the HaitianDominican border represents the recharge zone of the Artibonito aquifer. |
|
| Whether or not further development of the Recharge Zone in Bexar County will result in deterioration of the water supply of the Edwards is an issue yet to be resolved. |
