DESCRIPTION:Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) could be a crucial strategy for 
 addressing the impacts of climate change. Specifically\, infiltration pond
 s may help to replenish depleted aquifers\, thereby mitigating the effects
  of drought or groundwater overexploitation. Additionally\, it may contrib
 ute to reducing the risk of flooding by utilizing river waters. This resea
 rch aims to identify water bodies (WBs\, deriving from DQA “Direttiva Qu
 adro acque”) suitable for MAR following Italian directives. The Emilia-R
 omagna Region's database includes 453 Surface Water Bodies (SWBs)\, such a
 s rivers and other watercourses\, along with 135 Groundwater Bodies (GWBs)
 . An evaluation system to identify the optimal combinations between SWB an
 d GWB to design infiltration ponds has been developed\, focusing on alluvi
 al fan systems along the Apennine foothills. First\, GWBs were selected du
 e to their poor quality and critical quantity issues\, whereas SWBs were c
 hosen based on their quality and ecological requirements (DM 100/2016). Fo
 rty-two combinations were identified between SWGs and GWBs. A quantitative
  and empirical evaluation was conducted involving a systematic combination
  assessment of key factors\; each assigned a rating and weighting. The sum
  of these factors results in a global index for each combination of SWG an
 d GWB. This allows for the establishment of a ranking for the WBs combinat
 ions\, from the most to the least favorable. Key factors include river dis
 charge rate\, flood hazards\, and the presence of non-active quarries near
  SWB. GWBs are evaluated considering lithology\, permeability\, and water 
 table level. Our results enable to select all WBs suitable for MAR as perm
 itted by Italian legislation and to rank SWB-GWB combinations specifically
  focused on infiltration pond MAR. Future research will focus on the best 
 combinations identified in this study to characterize the optimal sites fo
 r implementing infiltration ponds MAR.
