Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) refers to the intentional recharge of water to aquifers for subsequent use or environmental benefit. MAR provides storage and treatment for all available water resources, such as natural water sources (surface water, groundwater), recycled water (urban stormwater, industrial or urban wastewater) or desalinated seawater.
