RiverBasinObject: Recharge Wells

Recharge wells are wells specifically designed so that water can be pumped into an aquifer in order to recharge the ground-water reservoir. Recharge well objects, however, have several TYPES that can include all aspects of recharge, including smaller scale water harvesting schemes:

Percolation Pit
Percolation Pit with Bore
Recharge Trench
Recharge Trench with Bore
Recharge well (shallow/small)
Recharge well (deep/large)

The latter two are very similar to basic wells and described in terms of their hydraulic, geological, and chemical properties.

They are primarily described by their HEADER and the hypertext description and imagery.

Attributes are grouped into topics and shown in pop-up windows that are triggered by BUTTONS.
They include:

Admin owner, and permit/licensing information;
Construction basic design parameters;
Geology description of Lithology (basic geology, drill cores);
Links to other objects: please note that all recharge wells should be linked to an aquifer object as the receiving water body at least.
