Article Synopsis
- Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) in Suffolk, UK, aims to store excess surface water underground to provide irrigation, using a drainage channel discharging to the River Deben estuary.
- In a trial during June 2022, water was successfully recharged to the aquifer, raising groundwater levels and maintaining water quality within regulatory limits, while achieving a notable reduction in nitrate-N concentration.
- Despite low construction costs for the MAR system, economic viability is hindered by high data collection and permit costs, highlighting the need for improved market mechanisms and regulatory processes to promote similar initiatives.
