Drought risks exacerbated by climate change exposes water scarcity issues particularly in arid to dry subtropical areas globally. Recurring droughts have highlighted town water security deficiencies in regional Australia. Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is proven internationally as an effective tool for increasing drought resilience and sustainability of water resources. Uncertainty concerning costs of MAR schemes has been a ba...

Wastewater reuse coupled to managed aquifer recharge (MAR) provides a means to store and reuse treated wastewater (TWW) year-round. Determining the fate of nutrients in the subsurface during MAR remains challenging for environmental regulation due to the interaction of the MAR source water with site specific aquifer conditions. To facilitate the understanding of natural treatment processes, this study uses operational monitori...
