Fortescue’s Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) scheme allows for an efficient and resilient groundwater supply without significantly impacting the quantity of water present in natural aquifers. The cost of developing groundwater reinjection technology and infrastructure has been significant for Fortescue. However, this infrastructure is vital for operations and is likely to be cost positive due to it enabling a reliable water supply system for operations, without detrimentally damaging or depleting natural aquifers.
