Incorporating Managed Aquifer Recharge into the USACE Planning Process
20 August 2020
This webinar provided an overview of Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR), which includes
both artificial recharge basins and aquifer storage and recovery wells and is being used
to address many water management challenges around the globe. The presentation
provided an overview of a recently published USACE Institute for Water Resources (IWR)
report on how the Corps and its partners have been, or have considered, using MAR in
civil works projects. In addition to applications in flood risk management and aquatic
ecosystem restoration, MAR can be used for drought management, water supply,
seawater intrusion prevention, and other water resources management objectives. The
presentation also discussed how MAR may be further integrated into the USACE civil
works planning process and new initiatives to deliver more sustainable and resilient water
management solutions. The webinar was presented by Dr. Will Logan, Director of the
International Center for Integrated Water Resources Management at IWR.
