MAR Stores Water in Aquifers for Times of Low Supply
As many states expect continued drought in 2016 and beyond, the management of aquifers will be increasingly important, according to the National Ground Water Association (NGWA).
One potential method to help provide for water when it is needed is called managed aquifer recharge (MAR). MAR captures available water during wet periods, periods of low demand, or water that would be lost otherwise. Then it moves this water under controlled conditions into aquifers.
