Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) - Suitability maps and standardized suitability index, the case study of the Occitanie region (South France)

'Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) - Suitability maps and standardized suitability index, the case study of the Occitanie region (South France)' is an internship report written by Fanny Dupont and supervised by Arnaud Sterckx (IGRAC) and Roel Dijksma (Wageningen University).  

Water resources are under pressure as a result of the combined effects of climate change and population growth. Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is a promising measure to increase the availability of freshwater and become more resilient to climate change. The potential of suitability mapping using GIS-based Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) to promote these methods in the future is investigated.
