Water banking involves the deliberate injection of surplus water into known aquifers. The idea is to repurpose the worldβs many artesian basins as giant sustainable storage tanks - ones that can readily be drawn upon in times of drought.
Itβs just one of the ideas we explore in the second instalment of our two-part series on water conflict and management β the politics, the problems and the potential solutions.
