The Global Groundwater Quality Portal by IGRAC is a dedicated platform for sharing global maps and datasets related to groundwater quality. It brings together data and models developed by IGRAC and its international partners, including global assessments of groundwater contamination and occurrence of key elements such as arsenic, fluoride, PFAS, and salinity. The portal provides harmonized geospatial information that supports global and regional monitoring of groundwater quality, promotes data accessibility, and contributes to sustainable groundwater management worldwide. It is part of IGRAC’s mission to facilitate international information exchange and knowledge sharing on groundwater resources.

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 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.
