For the continuous and severe groundwater level falling in Jinghui Irrigation District Shaanxi Province. China leads to a series of problems that has threatened eco-environment safety, as well as, agricultural water supply safety, artificial recharge of groundwater is imperative. In this paper, feasibility of groundwater artificial recharge is studied from four aspects ( recharge water source, storage capacity, recharge pattern and re-development of groundwater). The results indicate that based on the rich and generous loess stratum and over-extracting of groundwater, irrigation district possess about 6.46 10⁸m³ storage capacity for accommodating groundwater according to capacity drainage calculation, and there are comparatively large space (equally about 1.86 10⁸m³) for diverting surface water from Jinghe River, especially in the Summer. And meanwhile canal seepage and surface water irrigation infiltration can be the main recharge pattern, at last the existing about 20000 wells in the Irrigation District can play important role in re-development of groundwater. So Jinghui Irrigation District possesses advantaged conditions for artificial adjustment of groundwater storage, artificial recharge of groundwater should be carried out timely.
