DESCRIPTION:Climate Change effects in the central Mediterranean region are 
 expected to lead to higher temperatures\, reduced rainfall and a higher pr
 opensity for extreme events.  Higher water demands particularly by the agr
 icultural sector are anticipated\, with concurrent lower recharge rates to
  groundwater\, a main source of water for agriculture under semi-arid dry 
 landscape conditions.\n\nThe conjunctive management of surface (including 
 rainwater runoff) and groundwater resources provides the opportunity to us
 e currently depleted aquifers experiencing long-term over-abstraction as s
 ubsurface water storage systems\,  carrying over water from periods of ava
 ilability to the dry season.\n\nThe establishment of a robust governance f
 ramework for Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) activities is a key factor for
  ensuring the safe application of this technique and ensuring a sufficient
 ly high level of protection for the groundwater environment\, protecting i
 ts role as a natural water resource for the future. \n\nThe Water Framewor
 k and Groundwater Directives are the main legal instruments for the manage
 ment of groundwater resources in the European Union.  Analysis of the rele
 vant regulatory provisions within these Directives through the EU-funded M
 arsol and Marsolut projects indicates that these constitute a sufficiently
  robust regulatory framework for safe MAR. Findings emphasize the importan
 ce of focusing on the quality of recharge water rather than its origin\, t
 he necessity of stringent quality control measures before water enters the
  MAR system and the critical role of permits based on comprehensive risk a
 ssessments of the entire MAR system.\n\nThis paper reviews the role of the
  EU’s regulatory framework in supporting MAR as a scientifically sound\,
  safe and sustainable groundwater management strategy to address emerging 
 Climate Change challenges.
