Managed Aquifer Recharge

MAR provides a dependable water supply during droughts or dry spells by storing excess water from wet seasons for later use, ensuring water availability in regions with limited surface water resources.

By preventing overuse, MAR helps maintain balanced groundwater levels, reducing risks like land subsidence, aquifer depletion, and saltwater intrusion into freshwater supplies in coastal areas.

MAR preserves the health of rivers, wetlands, and other ecosystems that rely on consistent groundwater inputs, fostering biodiversity and ecological balance. This is particularly important in arid and semi-arid regions where groundwater sustains critical habitats.

As water infiltrates the ground during MAR, it undergoes natural filtration processes, which can improve its quality by removing contaminants and impurities, making it safer for various uses.

By diverting excess stormwater into aquifers, MAR reduces surface runoff and helps prevent urban flooding, especially in areas with inadequate drainage infrastructure.

MAR supports irrigation needs during dry seasons by replenishing groundwater reserves, which are vital for sustaining crop production in water-stressed regions.
