Abstract:
This research advocates Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) using enhanced site and infiltration assessment methods. Site feasibility was evaluated by using innovative site characterization, which optimized infiltration rate estimation, contributing to reduced MAR planning uncertainty and cost. Further, a novel infiltration approach was developed and evaluated to reduce land use conflicts, offering additional revenue. This study offers novel tools and solutions for MAR uptake, tackling water scarcity.

Translated abstract:
Diese Arbeit präsentiert innovative Werkzeuge und Lösungen für die Implementierung der künstlichen Grundwasseranreicherung. Verbesserte Methoden zur Standort- und Infiltrationsbewertung, basierend auf einer optimierten Standortcharakterisierung, werden vorgestellt, um Planungsunsicherheiten zu schaffen und Kosten zu reduzieren. Zudem wurde eine neue Infiltrationsmethode entwickelt und getestet, welche zu zusätzlichen Einnahmen und zur Minderung von Landnutzungskonflikten beiträgt.
