    Abstract

    Managed aquifer recharge (MAR)

    Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is the intentional recharge of water into suitable aquifers for subsequent recovery or to achieve environmental benefits; MAR is the only practical way to restore overexploited aquifers. MAR is often used to prevent salt-water intrusion. MAR can be used as a tool for adaptation to climate change.
