SMART (Sustainable Management of Aquifer Recharge Techniques)

SMART (Sustainable Management of Aquifer Recharge Techniques) is a strategic approach to enhancing underground water supplies by carefully replenishing aquifers. It involves using targeted methods—such as artificial recharge with treated water, rainwater harvesting, or managed groundwater inflows—to ensure groundwater levels stay balanced over time. The aim is to sustainably meet water demand, prevent over-extraction, and protect water quality. By Monitoring, Planning, and Implementing best practices, SMART helps communities maintain reliable water sources while minimizing environmental impacts, supporting long-term water security for agriculture, industry, and households.
