Implication

Randomized trial assesses managed aquifer recharge efficacy in drought attenuation, indicating significant community impact.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of small-scale managed aquifer recharge (s-MAR) in reducing meteorological drought propagation in rural communities.
Analyzed hydrological and climatic data along with social data to assess s-MAR effectiveness.
Employed geospatial methods integrated with sociohydrogeological approaches to quantify drought impacts.
Examined data from the extreme drought events of 2008-2009 and 2023-2024 to evaluate the role of community-led s-MAR initiatives.
Findings indicate that s-MAR significantly attenuated drought propagation, enhancing community resilience to water scarcity.
The impact of s-MAR on hydrology hinged on both biophysical factors and social dynamics, revealing complex interactions.
Complementary analysis of qualitative social data and quantitative biophysical data highlighted essential insights for effective water management.
