1. A system for directing water to a subsurface region, comprising:
a network comprising two or more wells, each well comprising:
a conduit for directing a volume of water to a subsurface region located below a land surface, the subsurface region being formed from an earth surface adapted to contact the water and having a hydraulic conductivity of at least 10−5 cm/s, wherein an upper portion of the subsurface region is located at a distance of at least 35 feet below the land surface, wherein each conduit of the two or more wells is in fluidic communication with each other, and wherein the subsurface region is further formed at least in part from at least one of bedrock, glacial till, and gravel.
