The objective of this study is to broadly inform groundwater resources managers, engineers, policy-makers and politicians world-wide on the subject of managing saline groundwater with the aim to enhance their general understanding, promote early diagnosis of possible changes and widen their inspiration for selecting effective measures for intervention (as far as required).
This study has three focal areas: 1) Geographic dimension: Description and characterization and geographical delineation of global occurrence of saline groundwater 2) Management dimension: Description of risks and opportunities regarding brackish and saline groundwater and observed human responses (management and development practices) 3) Global change dimension: Analysis to what extent the presence and/or relevance of brackish and saline groundwater may change in response to global change processes such as climate change, ever-increasing groundwater abstraction and modified land use practices.
Chapter 2 gives the definition of saline groundwater used in this study. It describes various genetic origins of saline groundwater and the salinity dynamics. Chapter 3 gives the methodological framework for collecting, analyzing and processing the data and proxy information to develop a worldwide overview of saline groundwater occurrences. Results from this methodology are presented in this chapter, in annex 1 (map) and annex 2 (table wise description of saline groundwater occurrences per global groundwater region. Chapter 4 discusses the role saline groundwater plays in human society and in natural processes. Chapter 5 gives an overview of techniques, actions and measures that people undertake worldwide to mitigate remediate and adapt to groundwater salinity. Chapter 6 gives an analysis of the worldwide scope and severity of groundwater salinity and concluding remarks.

The last 60 years has seen unprecedented groundwater extraction and overdraft as well as development of new technologies for water treatment that together drive the advance in intentional groundwater replenishment known as managed aquifer recharge (MAR). This paper is the first known attempt to quantify the volume of MAR at global scale, and to illustrate the advancement of all the major types of MAR and relate these to research and regulatory advancements. Faced with changing climate and rising intensity of climate extremes, MAR is an increasingly important water management strategy, alongside demand management, to maintain, enhance and secure stressed groundwater systems and to protect and improve water quality. During this time, scientific research—on hydraulic design of facilities, tracer studies, managing clogging, recovery efficiency and water quality changes in aquifers—has underpinned practical improvements in MAR and has had broader benefits in hydrogeology. Recharge wells have greatly accelerated recharge, particularly in urban areas and for mine water management. In recent years, research into governance, operating practices, reliability, economics, risk assessment and public acceptance of MAR has been undertaken. Since the 1960s, implementation of MAR has accelerated at a rate of 5%/year, but is not keeping pace with increasing groundwater extraction. Currently, MAR has reached an estimated 10 km3/year, ~2.4% of groundwater extraction in countries reporting MAR (or ~1.0% of global groundwater extraction). MAR is likely to exceed 10% of global extraction, based on experience where MAR is more advanced, to sustain quantity, reliability and quality of water supplies.
