The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation has revised its managed aquifer recharge (MAR) policy and developed a supporting guideline, to inform the community. The revised policy – Managed aquifer recharge in Western Australia (2021) replaces Operational policy 1.01 – Managed aquifer recharge in Western Australia (Department of Water, 2011) and earlier practices for MAR operations adopted by the department.
The documents provide information to assist with establishing a MAR operation, while safeguarding the environment, water users, and public health.
The new policy, guideline, and information brochure are available on the website of the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, find it here.
