Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) seems to offer a solution to improve water security in this drought-prone area. This paper presents a conceptual framework within which numerical modelling of the aquifers system is operated to improve water security of West Coast. The ModelMuse software that included MODFLOW and MODPATH packages was used.en-USManaged aquifer rechargeUpper unconfined aquifer unitSemi-confined lower aquifer unitModelMuseModellingArticle
