4th International Summer School on Managed Aquifer Recharge (MARISS 2022)
The Division of Water Sciences at the Dresden University of Applied Sciences is organising the 4th International Summer School "Managed Aquifer Recharge" (MARISS) from 29.08. to 09.09.2022. Due to climate change, groundwater recharge, in addition to demand management, is an important measure to conserve, convey and safeguard groundwater systems and to protect and improve water quality. Managed aquifer recharge - MAR-, also called groundwater recharge, water banking and artificial recharge, is the targeted recharge of water in aquifers for later recovery or environmental benefit. It includes methods such as bank filtration, infiltration ponds and injection wells, and uses natural water sources and appropriately treated urban storm water, wastewater and other effluents to increase groundwater storage, protect and improve water quality, and provide supplies during drought and emergencies. MAR can play an important role as a measure to control over-abstraction and restore groundwater balance, can also be used to maintain or improve ecosystem function and groundwater quality. The two-weeks MARISS International Summer School focuses on sharing and exchanging knowledge and new ideas in the field of MAR and Riverbank Filtration (RBF).
