Product Detail

This book is a detailed guide for recharging aquifers through dual-purpose wells (wells that are used for both recharge and recovery). Aquifer storage recovery (ASR) is an efficient and cost-effective tool for water resources management, particularly in areas with severe water supply challenges.

The book provides an introduction to ASR and its history. Chapters then proceed through feasibility assessment, ASR applications, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of ASR systems, geochemistry and aquifer characteristics, economics, and legal and regulatory issues.

Case studies of ASR systems in use around the world provide insight into ASR applications, construction, and operational issues. Includes references, conversion factors, and index. An included CD contains engineering tables and data.
