Call for abstracts session HS 8.1.3 "Sustainable water management with managed aquifer recharge (MAR)"
Dear colleagues,

if you are working on Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) and preparing for EGU26, we would be thrilled to receive your contribution to our session.

Abstract submission is open until 15th of January.

Global climate change is reshaping the hydrological cycle, leading many regions to face reduced natural water availability. Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) has emerged as a promising adaptation strategy to overcome these challenges and to reinforce sustainable groundwater management. MAR can support maintaining water quantity (water levels and volumes), improve water quality, support groundwater-dependent ecosystems, counteract subsidence and salinization, and create underground hydraulic barriers. For MAR to achieve long-term sustainability, it is essential to continuously improve techniques, adapt to local hydrogeological and socio-economic conditions, and apply robust monitoring and evaluation practices. This session aims to highlight the potential of MAR and share knowledge on MAR applications and the impact on local and regional scale, for both water management and dependent ecosystems.

We welcome contributions focusing on (but not limited to):

• Innovations in MAR methods.
• Case studies and lessons learned from MAR schemes describing and comparing different hydrogeological and climate settings.
• MAR and water quality issues, including online and in-situ analytical tools for infiltrated water, impacts on groundwater quality, treatment system effectiveness, and clogging challenges.
• Monitoring and operational management strategies for ensuring long-term sustainability of MAR schemes.
• Environmental impact assessment of MAR operations.
• Cost-effectiveness of MAR operations.
 
 
We look forward to seeing you in Vienna next year!
