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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
Augmenting Water Supply in the Phoenix Area Through Recharge of Surplus Central Arizona Project Water Into the Agua Fria Riverbed
This paper describes the efforts of several months activities in the initial stages of developing a 30,000 feet Demonstration Recharge Facility for surplus Colorado River water on the...
Ogallala Recharge with Stormwater Collected in Playa Lakes
Runoff occurring from this precipitation collects in playa lakes. The bottoms of these lakes are comprised of clays and silts which prevent or retard infiltration in subsequent recharge....
Performance of an Artesian Glacial Drift Aquifer with Induced Recharge
The City of Kalamazoo, Michigan, has constructed induced recharge facilities at sites of several of its twenty-one well fields as part of a program for supplying potable water to Kalamazoo...
Artificial Recharge and Conjunctive Use Management?North Central Coastal Basins of California
