Aquifer recharge area definition

Aquifer recharge area means an area that, due to the presence of certain soils, geology, and surface water, acts to recharge groundwater by percolation.

Aquifer recharge area means any area where surface waters may infiltrate to a water bearing stratum of permeable rock, sand or gravel. This definition also includes wells used for disposal of wastewater or other toxic pollutants.

Aquifer recharge area means an area that, due to the presence of certain

Aquifer recharge area means areas designated by WAC 365-190-080(2) that are determined to have a critical recharging effect on aquifers (i.e., maintain the quality and quantity of water) used for potable water as defined by WAC 365-190-030(2).

Aquifer recharge area means areas where the prevailing geologic conditions allow infiltration rates which create a high potential for contamination of ground water resources or contribute significantly to the replenishment of ground water with potential to be used for potable water.

Aquifer recharge area means areas where water infiltrates the soil and percolates through it and surface rocks, to the groundwater.

Aquifer recharge area means areas with a critical recharging effect on aquifers used for potable water, including areas where an aquifer that is a source of drinking water is vulnerable to contamination that would affect the potability of the water, or is susceptible to reduced recharge.
