Dugout ponds are made by digging the soil from a piece of land and the dugout soil is used to make embankment around the pond. The pond is filled by surface runoff. In this technique of surface groundwater recharge, ponds are dug before the monsoon. During monsoon, the runoff water is stored in the pond for not only for domestic and irrigation uses, but also percolate down gradually to recharge the groundwater.
