How to read this

Every construct on the map is compared with every other by the meaning of its definitions, and the closest one is surfaced here. The nearest construct to recharge is restoration.

Hold this as a prompt, not a verdict. Two constructs sitting close in meaning is a reason to read them side by side and decide for yourself whether they are one idea under two names. It is not proof that they are. Compare the meanings in the Collider.

Hydrogeology

Water replenishing an aquifer

The downward movement of water that reaches the saturated zone below the water table and adds to the volume held in an aquifer. Meinzer's 1923 Outline of ground-water hydrology, with definitions set out the vocabulary of the field and named recharge as the water added to the zone of saturation, paired against discharge as the water leaving it. Scanlon, Healy, and Cook's 2002 Choosing appropriate techniques for quantifying groundwater recharge reviewed how this flux is estimated from rainfall, streamflow, and water-table records. The referent is a physical flux of water into a geological store, counted as a depth or volume per unit time, and not the rebuilding of a tired person's capacity after work.[1][2][3]

Unit
A volume or depth of water entering the saturated zone per unit time, for example millimetres per year
Recovery means
Recharge is itself the replenishing process: the stored level rises when inflow exceeds natural discharge and pumping
Measured by
Estimated by water-table fluctuation, chloride mass balance, lysimeters, and tracer or modelling methods

Occupational and health psychology

the return of psychological and physiological systems drawn on during effort to resting levels once the demand stops.

The process by which the psychological and physiological systems drawn on during effort return to and settle at their resting levels once the demand stops. Meijman and Mulder's 1998 effort-recovery model held that work calls on regulatory resources and provokes load reactions, and that recovery is the unwinding of those reactions during off-job time. Sonnentag's 2003 Recovery, work engagement, and proactive behavior found that people who feel recovered at the start of the day bring more energy and initiative to the work that follows. The referent is the restoring of a person's depleted capacity after effort, tracked through fatigue, mood, and engagement, and not a flux of water refilling a rock formation.[4][5]

Unit
One person's return toward baseline capacity across a rest period, scaled by self-reported fatigue and vigour
Recovery means
Recovery is the construct itself, and it is fuller when off-job time allows psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery, and a feeling of control
Measured by
Measured by recovery-experience and need-for-recovery questionnaires and by fatigue, vigour, and sleep indicators
