Managed Aquifer Recharge

Evaluation of water harvesting and managed aquifer recharge potential in Upper Fara' basin in Palestine: comparing MYWAS and water productivity approaches

“…The use of groundwater as a storage is very valuable since the water stored is not subject to evaporation and due to filtration capacity of the soil contaminations are limited as well. There are several techniques for managed aquifer recharge, retention dams, flooding field or infiltration wells, the first two techniques require a geography suitable for infiltration (Dillon et al, 2009;EPA, 1999;Maliva and Missimer, 2012). MAR has increasingly been implemented in areas where groundwater depletion and water scarcity are issues at stake (Dillon, Pavelic, Page, Beringen, and Ward, 2009;EPA, 1999;Hughes, Mansour, and Robins, 2008;Maliva and Missimer, 2012;Rahman et al, 2013).…”

RWH interventions can be combined with MAR interventions since the water can be used for infiltration to the groundwater and/or direct use for other purposes such as irrigation.…”

Assessment of Managed Aquifer Recharge Site Suitability Using a GIS and Modeling

“…Managed recharge is an increasingly common approach for increasing groundwater supplies (Dillon et al 2009;Maliva and Missimer 2012;O'Leary et al 2012). Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) can use several methods, including injection wells, aquifer storage, and recovery (ASR, with injection and extraction through the same wells), and infiltration basins.…”
