TL;DR: Infiltration does potentially offer a range of water quality improvements over direct injection to the water table without passage through the unsaturated zone; however, additional treatment options for the non-potable water may still need to be considered, depending on the receiving environment or the end use of the recovered water.

TL;DR: The research demonstrated that a static QMRA can be used to determine the residual risk from pathogens in recovered water and showed that it can be a valuable tool in the preliminary design and operation of MAR systems and the incorporation of complementary engineered treatment processes to ensure that there is acceptable health risk from the recovered water.

TL;DR: Managed aquifer recharge is described, its use in Australia is illustrated, economics, guidelines and policies are outlined, and some of the knowledge about aquifer treatment processes that are revealing the latent value of aquifers as urban water infrastructure and provide a driver to improving the authors' understanding of urban hydrogeology are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of water level time series collected along a transect through a sedimentary island aquifer was used to test the utility of various simple models of ocean tidal propagation in bounded one-dimensional aquifers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors draw on examples of the use of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) as an approach to support sustainable urban water management and show that MAR provides a means to recycle underutilized urban storm water and treated wastewater to maximize their water resource potential and to minimize any detrimental effects associated with their disposal.
