Managed aquifer recharge: An introduction
Waterlines report No 13 - February 2009
This report summarises the relevant information needed to consider managed aquifer recharge (MAR), alongside other alternatives, as a prospective new water supply for drinking or non-potable uses.
It was prepared for the Commission by CSIRO under its Water for a Healthy Country Flagship program.
The report explains managed aquifer recharge, offers a description of the diverse drivers for MAR and presents new information on the economics of MAR in relation to alternative sources of supply. The authors deal with how to establish a MAR project, outline considerations for government regulators and look at MAR opportunities in an integrated urban water management context.
