[edit] Merge Deep drainage → Recharge

This is the same process as recharge. Any objections for this content to be merged there? +mwtoews 04:05, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

"Recharge" is more encompassing than "deep drainage". True, deep drainage (also called percolation, or deep percolation) does recharge the aquifer, but recharge may also mean "recharge of a surface reservoir", "recharge of a watershed", and even "recharge of a battery". "Recharge", therefore, needs a disambiguation paragraph and a reference to "deep drainage". R.J.Oosterbaan 18:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

In addition "deep drainage" also needs to be unambiguated as there also exists deep drainage=drainage with drains at great depth as opposed too shallow drainage.

Merge complete. I'll move this page from Talk:Deep drainageTalk:Recharge. +mt 04:40, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
