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 North Kenya, developed by Acacia Water (2013). The study evaluates hydrogeological, climatic, and land use conditions to identify areas suitable for MAR implementation across the region. The dataset provides geospatial information that can support water resources planning, groundwater recharge strategies, and climate change adaptation measures in North Kenya. It is part of the global collection of MAR suitability assessments compiled by IGRAC.
