ADVANCES in MANAGED AQUIFER RECHARGE for GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY

Session ID#: 158319

Session Description:
Groundwater has become an indispensable resource across the world that is used for agricultural production, drinking water supply, and climate change adaptation. However, groundwater overexploitation has resulted in several adverse effects such as groundwater depletion, groundwater quality degradation, land subsidence, seawater intrusion, and degradation of freshwater‐dependent ecosystems. To address these problems, water resources managers increasingly turn to managed aquifer recharge (MAR), a method that intentionally transfers excess water (e.g., surface water, recycled or treated water) to underground flow and storage, generating extractive and/or non-extractive benefits.

 

This session encourages submissions on new developments in the growing field of managed aquifer recharge. We invite contributions on:

  • emerging MAR technologies including injection methods, vadose zone recharge (e.g., drywells), and surface spreading methods (e.g., infiltration basins, flood-managed and agricultural MAR);
  • methods to characterize and/or simulate water flow and contaminant transport processes during MAR;
  • water balance studies investigating the role of MAR in water supply reliability, flood-risk reduction, groundwater quality, drought preparedness, and climate change adaptation;
  • the multi-faceted hydrologic, ecological and socio-economic benefits of MAR, and;
  • potential institutional challenges, socio-environmental impediments, and unintended consequences associated with intentional groundwater recharge.

We are especially interested in case studies that explore the complex processes, interactions, and tradeoffs to consider in MAR as well as socio-hydrological, water policy or water governance aspects of these methods.
