There’s a Dutch company called Groasis that had the nifty idea of planting a tree that goes though a bucket of water, the bucket slowly leaks water into the ground.

The mass of the water provides thermal regulation as well as a trickle of water, which can catch rain as well as being topped up manually.

The overall goal is for the tree to grow down to the aquifer and then thrive. It helps a lot if there’s work to catch storm runoff into the aquifer.

The OP is more about conveying water through the aquifer.
