Reclamation's Recharge Projects: California-Nevada
Under the High Plains States Groundwater Demonstration Program, the Bureau of Reclamation has recommended construction of 21 projects in 17 western states. The projects contain technical...
Recovery Efficiency From Single-Well Injection/Recovery Tests in a Limestone Aquifer of High Secondary Porosity
An analytical advection-diffusion model was developed to assess the feasibility of injecting and recovering water in a limestone aquifer of high secondary porosity. The model was calibrated...
Artificial Recharge Research at the University of Arizona
This paper summarizes pit- and well-recharge trials at Tucson, Arizona. The pit recharge trials examined management techniques and characterized flow patterns in the 80 ft thick vadose...
Feasibility of Artificial Recharge to the Oakes Aquifer, Southeastern North Dakota
Based on measured well yields, initial surface infiltration rates, and ground-water quality, the Oakes aquifer can support a large-scale artificial recharge-irrigation project. An aquifer...
Ground Water Recharge Through Wells
Surface runoff water accumulates in natural depressions called playas on the Southern High Plains; most of it is wasted by evaporation. The water is turbid, but otherwise of good quality...
Aquifer Storage Recovery: A New Water Supply and Ground Water Recharge Alternative
Aquifer Storage Recovery (ASR) involves treated drinking water that is stored underground by injection into a suitable storage zone during those months of the year when available supply...
Aquifer Storage Recovery (ASR): A Potential Solution to the Eutrophication of Florida's Lake Okeechobee
Progress and preliminary results of a demonstration project of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) are discussed. Formed in 1985, the Lake Okeechobee Technical Advisory...
Artificial Recharge and Water Supply in The Netherlands
In 1984 infiltration by surface spreading was 156 million m3, serving 15% of total supply of drinking water in the Netherlands. Already for some...
Subsurface Injection of Storm Water Runoff into an Underground Storage of Bangkok
Subsurface injection through a well into sand and gravel formations of the Bangkok aquifer of untreated canal water whose composition considered similar to that of storm water runoff,...
Tucson Recharge with Existing Potable Water System
In 1987, a study was undertaken to evaluate the potential for using the City of Tucson's existing potable water distribution system and production wells for recharge of treated...
Ground Water Recharge with Sewage Effluent
Recharge systems for soil-aquifer treatment (SAT) of conventionally treated sewage effluent typically remove essentially all suspended solids, biodegradable material (BOD) and microorganisms...
Analysis of Hydraulic Impacts at the Tucson Reclaimed Water Recharge Project
The Tucson Reclaimed Water Recharge site has been implemented with increasingly sophisticated calculation methods as data collection efforts advanced. Initial project scoping utilized...
Reclaimed Water System with Artificial Recharge
Arizona cities must reduce water consumption as a result of the 1980 Arizona Ground Water Management Act. Use of reclaimed water in place of potable water for landscape irrigation and...
Wastewater Recharge: Water Quality and Operations
The Green Valley Wastewater Treatment Facility began operations in its current configuration in 1981. It treats approximately 1 million gallons per day of municipal wastewater, with disposal...
Artificial Recharge of Urban Storm-Water Runoff
The disposition of selected contaminants in the soils, in the percolating water, and in the recharge-mound water of five retention/recharge basins was investigated in Fresno, California....
Bacterial Fingerprinting to Trace Source of Coliform Bacteria During Artificial Recharge
This report describes the use of a bacterial 'fingerprint' technique to determine if treated effluent from infiltration beds was the source of coliform bacteria...
Health Effects of Ground Water Recharge
A five year multidisciplinary research project was conducted to evaluate the health significance of using treated wastewater for ground water replenishment. The focus of the study was...
Quality Changes of River Rhine and Meuse Water Upon Basin Recharge in the Netherlands' Coastal Dunes: 30 Years of Experience
A wide spectrum of quality changes of river Rhine and Meuse water is presented, on a global scale after pre-treatment, dune infiltration and post-treatment. Attention is focussed on the...
Benefits and Risks of Artificial Recharge of Saline Aquifers
Artificial recharge of saline aquifers by deep well injection of treated effluents is attractive, as it provides a solution to an environmental problem, and possibly creates groundwater...
Planning Ground Water Recharge in Scottsdale, Arizona
Mined ground water has historically supplied the municipal water needs of the City of Scottsdale. State enactment of stringent ground water legislation has mandated an eventual termination...
