Recharge<br />
of aquifers utilizes wells with<br />
screens at precise depths to inject<br />
water directly into the aquifer.<br />
The concept for aquifer storage and recovery, or ASR, is simple. Much like<br />
depositing money in a savings account, excess water is injected directly into<br />
a targeted aquifer where it can be withdrawn later – during a shortage of<br />
surface water.<br />
ASR has been used successfully in some places. However it has also failed in other<br />
places, and will take much local study before we will fully understand its potential.<br />
Storing and recovering water in an aquifer is a complex process that requires<br />
modeling and pilot testing to identify the ideal location for an ASR project.<br />
