1. A system for directing water to a subsurface region, 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 10 feet below the land surface; and
a fluid outlet in communication with the subsurface region, wherein the fluid outlet is configured to bring an amount of water from the subsurface region to the land surface.
