Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Monitored and Intentional Recharge (MIR) conceptual model:

  • MIR provides a basis to formulate MAR guidelines applied to specific environmental conditions that generally conform to each country´s regulations.
  • MIR proposes a set of blocks establishing a framework for MAR implementations with a high technical guarantee of success.
  • Due to intense and planned monitoring, the MIR concept and its methodology are key for water quality and security.

MIR is a conceptual model to draft MAR guiding documents

 

METHODOLOGY

Review of 22 existing regulations and guidelines on water reuse and MAR: European Union, WHO, USA, Chile, Australia …
Special attention to monitoring guidelines and risk/impact based analyses.
