Abstract- The leaf litters, wood materials, roots and other soil organisms fall on the surface and get mixed to form organic matter after decomposition. It percolates down the land surface as solution along with percolating water during artificial recharge. The impervious rocks check percolation and the concentration of the organic matter in the soil rises upward which changes the soil composition & cause significant changes in the organic matter of soil along with increase in the water level of the area.
