Question:
When depth changes recharge remains constant. Why?

Case #1: Depth changes but discharge constant

Case #2: Depth vs velocity

Anwers

1) Case 1

In first case there is three component ,which is mentioned there are

Depth,Atmospheric pressure(recharge and discharge),flow type. First I will
talk about Atmospheric pressure.

in the picture of the question ,is showed that ,water way type is open
channel flow because the water way is opened without any barrier and the
fluid blend with surrounding environment ,in open channel ,flow the
atmospheric pressure is always same no matter the different of land
height/elevation because atmospheric pressure only affect on very low
viscosity fluid like gas/air ,so basically no matter if it is recharge or
discharge type ,the atmospheric pressure is always same so the first case has
no different .

Next is about depth different

 In the picture of the question showed that the water flow still constant
though the different off depth its because the flow type is steady flow
type ,the different of depth(H) is still constant with the water velocity(V) ,
and cross section area(A)/the shape of cross section always same in units of
lenght, the change of flow type only happen if the different of depth ,velocity
and cross section area is non constant or the different is too far .

2) Case 2

Depht have a constant comparation with velocity ,the depher a water channel
the higher also velocity that water channel has ,its because the depher a
water channel the higher mass of water(because the higher number of water
molecule) ,the higher mass of water make water kinetic energy higher and
also water momentum because acceleration of gravity also affect on water
velocity.
