INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON MANAGED AQUIFER RECHARGE

Madrid, May 2019

Technicians and

scientists in the IAH

have been avoiding

the term artificial

recharge and instead

have been using

managed aquifer

recharge for more

than a decade

MAR advocates and

presents an

international common

terminology for types

of MAR in use, joining

older terms as

enhanced recharge,

water banking,

sustainable

underground storage,

artificial recharge…

Madrid, Spain
