Objectives
The project "FEMAR – FEmale scientists for the use of reclaimed water through Managed Aquifer Recharge in North Africa" is exploring the potential of an intelligent, artificial groundwater recharge system to contribute to sustainable water resource management in Egypt and other North African countries. With the help of a managed aquifer recharge (MAR) pilot system in Egypt, the project will demonstrate the feasibility of unconventional, near-natural water management concepts and increase acceptance, especially among those directly affected. To ensure sustainability and transparency, the project will disseminate the results to decision-makers and develop recommendations for a suitable legal framework. Policy suggestions will help promote innovation in groundwater and the development of replication and upscaling projects. The planning and implementation of the project has a focus on the active participation of women scientists and support for women in the water sector. Female scientists coordinate the project on the Egyptian and German sides, and women in interest groups are specifically involved and sensitised in order to strengthen their role in public decision-making processes.
