Managed Aquifer Recharge

Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is a process where water is deliberately directed back into underground aquifers to replenish groundwater supplies. This can involve techniques such as using surface water, stormwater, or treated wastewater, which is then allowed to seep into the ground. The goal of MAR is to enhance water availability for drinking, irrigation, and ecosystem support, especially in areas facing water scarcity. By replenishing aquifers, MAR helps to maintain water quality, reduce flooding, and sustain natural water cycles, making it a vital strategy for effective water management in a changing climate.
