Given ongoing climate trends, including increased air temperatures, variable precipitation, and aridification in the western U.S., MAR offers a strategy to satiate water demands and provide a buffer to water scarcity. The joint meeting will include two days of public sessions. The first day will highlight case studies of successful MAR project for a range of applications, including: protection against coastal saltwater intrusion, augmentation of groundwater supply to meet drinking and agricultural water needs, and improved water quality.
