As we all know there is increasing trend towards construction of building for residential and non-residential purpose in urban areas and making the open area paving of area for parking etc. This trend decreased drastically infiltration of rain water into the sub soil and recharging of ground water was diminished due to over development which has depleted the aquifer. Surface water is inadequate to meet our demand and we have to depend on ground water. Thus there is need to recharge ground water. The artificial recharge techniques enhance the sustainable yield in area and utilize the rainfall runoff which otherwise goes to sewer. This is very useful method for developing country specially India in reducing the cost and demand of treated water. The paper contains the types of recharge structure use in rainwater harvesting, selection of recharge structure and its maintenance.
