“…Increasing MAR worldwide is an important policy challenge and often starts with identifying suitable locations for MAR facilities. A recent review of MAR site suitability studies (Sallwey et al, 2019) observed that the majority of studies identify suitable sites by combining multiple biophysical factors such as hydrogeology, geomorphology or soil suitability (O'Geen et al, 2015;Russo et al, 2014), land use (Marwaha et al, 2021), but also groundwater quality (Waterhouse et al, 2020), water availability (Dahlke & Kocis, 2018;Kocis & Dahlke, 2017), and economic feasibility (Tran et al, 2019(Tran et al, , 2020a(Tran et al, , 2020b in a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). Marwaha et al (2021), for example, identified MAR sites near rural communities in the southern Central Valley, California by combining soil maps, land use maps, existing conveyance infrastructure information, and general groundwater flow directions in a MCDA.…”
