Artificial recharge mechanisms are resorted to when natural recharge is not sufficient for sustainable ground water levels. This study attempted to determine the efficacy of some artificial recharge structures constructed by TWAD board in Vadavathur village in Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu state. The direction of ground water flow has been found out by overlaying the periodical water level contours over the topography map. The result indicates that the ground water flow was towards Northwest and West directions and follows the natural ground slope. The water level fluctuation method and norms recommended by Ground Water Estimation Committee 1998 was used for water budgeting of the study area. The study identified a large amount of inflow coming into this basin from the Northeast and Eastern boundaries
