Groundwater injection can help sustain water availability where it is desperately needed. This book shows water suppliers how groundwater injection techniques can improve water resource availability, safety, and quality.
Groundwater injection concepts are explained for both potable and nonpotable water storage. The book covers four groundwater injection techniques: artificial aquifer creation, aquifer recharge, aquifer storage and recovery, and aquifer reclamation. Each injection strategy is fully explained with its purpose and limitations and the design criteria necessary for successful implementation. Computer modeling is covered, with the types of data needed, available software, and how to use groundwater models in planning, risk assessment, and in compliance with regulations.
The book discusses applicable groundwater injection regulations, as well as the legal concept of "reasonable assurance" as it bears on groundwater injection. Case studies of groundwater injection projects are included for each type of groundwater injection technique. The studies offer deep insights into the uses, goals, problems, and results of groundwater injection.
Whether you are just thinking about groundwater injection or are planning a project, you'll discover a wealth of information in this text.
