Abstract	The economic development of the Patras Industrial Area is influenced by both the availability and the seasonal variability of water resources. Groundwater from the deep confined aquifer is the major source of water for the industries located in this area. During the 1980s, over-pumping combined with prolonged dry periods has lowered the groundwater level. The paper presents the results of groundwater recharge testing in the confined aquifer using three deep boreholes and injection rates ranging from 30.5 to 63.5 m3/h. The groundwater level rose by more than 3.5 m in the recharge boreholes and 1 m in those 0.5 km away. The field experiments provided useful guidance on the proper planning of pilot tests, data monitoring and analysis, which can also be applied to other regions with similar conditions. Based on the hydrogeological conditions a groundwater flow model was successfully used to predict the aquifer system response. The work confirms that aquifer recharge is an environmentally acceptable solution, as part of an integral water resources management plan.Le développement économique de la région industrielle de Patras dépend de la disponibilité de la ressource en eau, variable suivant les saisons. L’eau souterraine de l’aquifère captif profond constitue la principale ressource pour les industries installées dans cette région. Pendant les années 80 une sur-exploitation combinée avec de longues périodes de sécheresse a conduit à déprimer la surface piézométrique. L’article présente les résultats d’un essai de recharge artificielle de l’aquifère à partir de trois forages profonds, avec des débits d’injection variant entre 30,5 et 63,5 m3/h. La surface piézométrique est remontée de plus de 3,5 m au niveau des puits de recharge et de 1 m dans des puits à 0,5 km de distance. Les expérimentations de terrain ont fourni d’utiles conclusions pour le test-pilote ainsi que pour l’acquisition et le traitement des données correspondantes, ces résultats pouvant être appliqués à d’autres régions présentant des contextes hydrogéologiques semblables. Sur la base des données hydrogéologiques un modèle d’écoulement souterrain a été utilisé avec succès pour prévoir la réponse du système aquifère. Le travail confirme que la recharge d’aquifère représente une solution acceptable sur le plan environnemental, dans le cadre d’un projet intégré de gestion des ressources en eau.
