摘要:The scarcity of fresh water, like other basic resources, can be a cause of conflict in semiarid and arid regions. Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) techniques provide a local, low-cost and low-infrastructure approach to addressing water scarcity. In water-scarce locations with favorable geology, engineers should consider constructing MAR infrastructure during transformation or stability operations as a reconstruction project with long-term benefits. The numerical computer model MODFLOW-2005 demonstrates water storage benefits of a MAR project using a check dam structure across a wadi. A second form of MAR structure, the infiltration basin, should also be considered.
