ERT monitoring of two Managed Aquifer Recharge ponds in the alluvial aquifer of the Llobregat River (Barcelona, Spain)

Over the past twenty years, there has been growing interest in the use of the subsurface for water storage using shallow ponds, where water is infiltrated to the subsurface and later groundwater is recovered from pumping wells. This scheme is designed as surface Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR). Llobr...
