Abstract Bari Doab is depleting the most in groundwater and therefore needs to be recharged. This paper presents a possibility of recharging Bari Doab through the abandoned Sukh-Beas channel. For this purpose, 25 cross sections were taken and ten infiltration tests were performed. Three different HEC-RAS models were run to find its channel capacity at different reaches. The infiltration capacity of the Sukh-Beas Nallah was found to be a total of about 808 cfs, which can be used to recharge the groundwater, after some necessary steps have been taken to improve the infrastructure.
