Abstract: The need to build resilience into current available water resources is required for sustained living. Adopting a Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) approach for conjunctive water use might be one of many options available to obtain a sustained potable water supply and requires detailed planning to be successfully integrated with current water supply system(s).
