Changes in the recoverable fractions during successive cycles of aquifer storage and recovery system in North-West India [1]

Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is an effective method of recharging reclaimed or surplus surface water into confined or semi-confined permeable formations for later extraction. A key factor in the long-term viability of ASR is the extent of mineral interaction between two dissimilar water types, their recoverable fractions and consequent impact on water quality and aquifer stability. An ASR well study was undertaken in the semi-arid region of northern India to assess the technical viability, environmental sustainability and commercial/economic feasibility of the ASR system in a generic sense.
