The Recharge package is used to simulate recharge to an aquifer due to rainfall and infiltration. Recharge is typically defined by specifying a recharge value for each [[GMS:Stress Periods|stress period]] for each vertical column in the grid (i.e., a NLAY X NCOL array of values is entered). The recharge value represents the amount of water that goes into the groundwater system and not the amount of precipitation. The units of recharge are length/time, so in a cell with a recharge value of 10(m/day), 10 meters of rainfall each day would be distributed across every m<sup>2</sup> of the cell. The recharge parameters are specified in the ''Recharge Package'' dialog.
