Artificial recharge - Point structure in tank

When excess fluoride is reported in deeper aquifers attempts are being made to dilute it by recharging the deeper aquifers directly.
The structure has been designed by a geologist and reaches a 100 metre deep. It is located in a 'tank' an artificial water body. Water when it fills in the tank will be filtered through a sand filter and let into the borewell through a perforated casing. The casing itself here is 60 metres deep , the first 10 metres unperforated and the the further 50 metres below peerforated. Monitoring the performance will be crucial to determine the success of this experiment.
