Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is a specific type of groundwater recharge practiced with the purpose of both augmenting ground water resources and recovering the water in the future for various uses.
These projects may be utilizing groundwater recharge techniques and are part of the project listing in [http://akvo.org/products/rsr/ Really Simple Reporting (RSR) ] on [http://www.akvo.org Akvo.org].

Specifically, the study aims to select the most suitable sites for the facilities of rainwater catchments, with a view to contributing to improving the food security of women and children through improved access to water and the development of agricultural and pastoral sectors conducive to women.|}
