​Monitoring recharge quality through soil water extraction provides critical insights into the interaction between recharged water and soil minerals, potential leaching of pollutants, and the natural filtration capacity of the soil. It also helps identify potential risks of groundwater contamination and supports the optimization of MAR practices to ensure sustainable and safe groundwater recharge. This approach is particularly beneficial in regions relying on treated wastewater or stormwater for recharge, as it ensures compliance with water quality standards and protects aquifer health.
