Short summary
This paper explores  how recharge strategies and the reactive barrier affect water infiltration, retention, and biofilm dinamics in a pilot-scale Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) system. We combine Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) imaging with field measurements (water content, temperature, oxygen) in the unsaturated zone, to link to biofilm and plant dynamics. This integrated approach provides insights into balancing microbial treatment benefits with hydrogeological impacts and system longevity.
