The term Artificial Recharge (AR) covers a range of technologies that typically utilise the natural cleaning capacity of natural subsoil systems to produce drinking water from surface water. Artificial Recharge: Technology and Systems for the Creation of Drinking Water from Surface Water demonstrates a management tool that uses sophisticated monitoring systems linking automatic real-time data acquisition and available on-line sensor systems and fast field analysis kits with intelligent decision support software. This compiles and communicates digested data to action protocol. The increased surveillance combined with development and implementation of operations schemes decreases the risk of contaminated drinking water and at the same time ensures a stable water production.
