The document discusses managed aquifer recharge (MAR) techniques for coastal aquifers containing brackish and saline groundwater. It notes that over-exploitation and upconing effects have reduced the efficiency of conventional aquifer storage and recovery systems. The document explores different MAR approaches for various coastal settings and aquifer types. It also summarizes recent research on optimizing well design and operation for MAR in brackish aquifers. Finally, the document proposes areas for potential cooperation between European and GCC countries on MAR pilot projects, research, and improving regulations.
