This special issue was initiated jointly by the Commission on Managing Aquifer Recharge of the International Association of Hydrogeologists, the organising committee of the 10th International Symposium on Managed Aquifer Recharge (ISMAR10) held in Madrid, Spain, in the period 20-24 May 2019, and MDPI Journal Water. This is the third special issue in Water following those for ISMAR8: Policy and Economics of MAR and Water Banking, and ISMAR9: Water Quality Considerations for Managed Aquifer Recharge Systems. The editors thank all those authors who contributed to this special issue and to the many reviewers whose comments have helped to improve the papers it contains. Finally, thank you to Rachel Lu and the staff of MDPI, who expertly and efficiently managed the publication of this special issue.

N2 - Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is part of the palette of solutions to water shortage, water security, water quality decline, falling water tables, and endangered groundwater-dependent ecosystems. It can be the most economic, most benign, most resilient, and most socially acceptable solution, but frequently has not been implemented due to lack of awareness, inadequate knowledge of aquifers, immature perception of risk, and incomplete policies for integrated water management, including linking MAR with demand management. MAR can achieve much towards solving the myriad local water problems that have collectively been termed "the global water crisis". This special issue strives to elucidate the effectiveness, benefits, constraints, limitations, and applicability of MAR, together with its scientific advances, to a wide variety of situations that have global relevance. This special issue was initiated by the International Association of Hydrogeologists Commission on Managing Aquifer Recharge to capture and extend from selected papers at the 10th International Symposium on Managed Aquifer Recharge (ISMAR10) held in Madrid, Spain, 20-24 May 2019.
