This review examines state-of-the-art practices in water harvesting and groundwater recharge, emphasizing their crucial role sustainable resource management. Groundwater, a for drinking agricultural water, is facing depletion due to the combined effects of urbanization, climate change, unregulated extraction. paper provides comprehensive overview contemporary knowledge on using systematic four-step methodology identify analyze relevant studies from databases like Google Scholar, Scopus, ScienceDirect. It categorizes techniques, such as rainwater, flood harvesting, evaluates effectiveness enhancing recharge. Both natural artificial recharge methods are explored, highlighting improving levels quality. study also reviews estimation techniques applicability across hydrogeological contexts. promotes balanced approach address issues scarcity by integrating into management strategies. integration aims build resilience against change-driven environmental damage. Recommendations provided enhance sustainability these practices, with particular focus arid semi-arid regions where demand rising. Overall, this underscores significance promoting long-term sustainability.
