Supporting decision-making and adaptation policies to address water scarcity and water stress
MARCLAIMED is an EU-funded project aimed at integrating the solutions Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) with Alternative Water Resources (AWR) to mitigate water stress and proactively manage droughts. This integration is essential for the sustainable use of both surface and groundwater resources.

New MARCLAIMED research explores how reactive organic layers can improve water quality in Managed Aquifer Recharge
A new scientific publication involving MARCLAIMED partners provides field-scale evidence of how reactive organic layers can enhance water quality when treated wastewater is used for Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR). The paper, “Enhancing infiltration water quality through reactive organic layers: field-scale evaluation of soil-aquifer treatment managed aquifer recharge using treated wastewater”, has been published in the journal Groundwater for Sustainable Development.

MARCLAIMED: Developing solutions to droughts and water scarcity
Drought and water shortages are placing growing pressure on countries across both southern and northern Europe. The Netherlands has reported a water shortage after persistent dry weather caused river levels to fall and waterways in some regions to dry up. The shortage is being driven by limited rainfall in different European regions that feed the Rhine and Meuse. At the [...]
The importance of drought resilience through better water management
Drought conditions are placing increasing pressure on water resources across England. Lower river flows, declining reservoir storage and restrictions on water abstraction are affecting agriculture, public water supplies and natural ecosystems. Even when rainfall returns, short periods of rain may not be sufficient to restore depleted water resources. Managing drought requires retaining water when its available so it can be [...]
