Hydrogeological site investigation and economic evaluation to assess the potential of managed aquifer recharge in the Lower Jordan Valley

Improving water availability and distribution is key to combatting water stress in semi-arid regions. This study presents an approach that integrates hydrogeological surveys and economic analysis at a pilot site in the eastern Lower Jordan Valley to assess the potential for managed aquifer recharge (MAR). Based on exploratory drillings, hydraulic tests, water-quality analyses and previous studies, an appropriate storage space in the alluvial...
