    The MAR Portal contains the Global MAR Inventory, an inventory of over 1200 sites where Managed Aquifer Recharge is or has been implemented. The Global MAR Inventory includes information on site name, MAR type, year of scheme deployment, the source of infiltration water, the final use of abstracted water, as well as the main objectives of the project.

    This dataset presents a MAR suitability map for Costa Rica, developed by Bonilla et al. (2016). The study ranks areas suitable for MAR through spreading methods based on hydrogeological aptitude, terrain slope, soil texture, and drainage network density. The dataset provides geospatial information that supports groundwater recharge planning, water resources management, and climate change adaptation in Costa Rica. It is part of the global collection of MAR suitability assessments compiled by IGRAC.

    This dataset presents a MAR suitability map for the Ganges River Basin, developed by Brindha and Pavelic (2016). The study identifies priority watersheds for mitigating flood and drought impacts through conjunctive surface and groundwater management under the Underground Taming of Floods for Irrigation (UTFI) approach. The analysis covers the transboundary Ganges Basin extending across Bangladesh, China, India, and Nepal. The dataset provides geospatial information that supports flood mitigation planning, groundwater recharge strategies, and integrated water resources management in South Asia. It is part of the global collection of MAR suitability assessments compiled by IGRAC.

    This dataset presents a MAR suitability map for Northern Australia, developed by CSIRO (2018). The study assesses opportunities for Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) in surficial aquifers to support agricultural development across the Fitzroy, Darwin, and Mitchell catchments. The analysis is based on the characteristics of surficial geology, topography, and modelled estimates of regolith thickness and soil permeability. The dataset provides geospatial information that can support sustainable water resource planning and agricultural water management in Northern Australia. It is part of the global collection of MAR suitability assessments compiled by IGRAC.

    This map illustrates the satellite-detected water extent in Sindh, Balochistan, and Punjab Provinces, Pakistan, as observed from Sentinel-2 satellite images acquired on 31 July 2025 at 13:02 local time (08:02 UTC). Within the analyzed area of approximately 83,000 km², about 6,300 km² of land appears to be affected by floodwaters. The floodwater extent appears to have increased by approximately 1,300 km² since 11 July 2025. Based on WorldPop population data and the flood extent, approximately 2.3 million people are potentially exposed or living close to the flooded areas.
