DESCRIPTION:Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR)\, is a novel technique involvin
 g artificially recharging and storing water into an aquifer and recovering
  it when required at times of drought. Recharge water can also raise water
  table levels in aquifers that are connected to rivers\, thus having the p
 otential to augment low river flows.  Urban environments have a large impe
 rmeable area and as a result\, significant proportion of rainfall is conve
 rted into runoff. \n\nThis study explores the opportunity and feasibility 
 of using MAR in an urban setting with urban runoff as the recharge water. 
 Stormwater must be captured\, stored and pre-treated before being recharge
 d into the subsurface and\, therefore\, a Sustainable Drainage System (SuD
 S) is included in a SuDS/MAR conjunctive scheme integrated into an urban s
 etting. A case study in South London is examined to determine potential ch
 allenges in implementing such a scheme.\n\nThis work is carried out for th
 e “Urban Flood Resilience in an Uncertain Future” research project (ht
 tp://www.urbanfloodresilience.ac.uk/) under Work Package II: “Stormwater
  as a Resource”.\n
