Artificial Recharge of Groundwater with Recycled Municipal Wastewater in the Pajaro Valley
… depletion and rapid seawater intrusion. Artificial recharge of recycled water into groundwater aquifers in other locations has proven to be an effective method of mitigating groundwater depletion and seawater intrusion while providing a sustainable water supply. Two methods of artificial …

Artificial recharge for conjunctive use in irrigation : the San Joaquin Valley, California
… restoration of water to an aquifer requires an artificial recharge method. It is deduced that for irrigation purposes, a direct surface recharge is the most appropriate method to use because of its low cost of construction, operation and maintenance. To store water for agriculture, the capacity …

Hydrologic and hydraulic assessment of artificial recharge in the Sparta Aquifer of Union County, Arkansas
… County, Arkansas, has long exceeded natural recharge, threatening the regional water supply. An alternative water-supply project, completed in 2004, now provides treated surfacewater to local industries. This conjunctive use of surface- and groundwater has allowed the Sparta aquifer to …

A study of the effect of the artificial recharge of urban runoff in Roanoke, Virginia
The rapid urbanization of the Williamson Road area of Roanoke during the late 1940's and early l950's brought about the plugging of the natural passageways for the escape of surface waters and the ponding of the urban runoff became a problem. In order to solve this, the city drilled several …

Evaluating Alternative Hydraulic Solutions to Limit Nutrient Contamination of an Aquifer in Southern California
… from a recently established series of artificial recharge ponds, groundwater recharge from natural sources, and pumping activities to meet local water uses. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate alternative hydraulic solutions that would limit the movement of the …

Evaluation of spontaneous potential for monitoring groundwater movement in karst terrain
… and for measuring SP changes induced by artificial recharge of water into a sinkhole. Results were evaluated by comparison with geological observations, electrical resistivity, stream flow measurements, and speleological surveys. SP can effectively locate and track shallow groundwater …

Enhanced removal of emerging contaminants during managed aquifer recharge using optimized operating conditions
… treatment systems are essential. Managed aquifer recharge (MAR), including riverbank filtration (RBF) and artificial recharge and recovery (ARR), offers an effective and promising means for providing safe drinking water. However, in order to reduce the physical footprint of these installations, an …

The capacity of the Cape Flats aquifer and its role in water sensitive urban design in Cape Town
… the feasibility of implementing Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) as a strategy for flood prevention and supplementing urban water supply. The implementation of MAR on the CFA aims to facilitate the transition towards sustainable urban water management through the application Water Sensitive Urban …

Permeability reduction in porous media due to suspended particles
Artificial recharge is a promising method for replacing water that is being withdrawn from aquifers. Although there are several water sources available, reclaimed agricultural, municipal and industrial wastewaters appear to be the water of choice for injecting into the underground reservoir. …

Geochemistry of artificial groundwater recharge into the Kopoasfontein breccia pipe near Calvinia, Karoo
Artificial groundwater recharge has been proposed as an innovative strategy for managing the scarce water supplies of the town of Calvinia, near the edge of the Karoo, South Africa. Surplus runoff water from the town dam or groundwater from boreholes in weathered shale aquifers would be injected …

Ground water management in Virginia: a comparative evaluation of the institutional framework
… and use of aquifer storage space through artificial recharge operations. Development of rights in these areas has proceeded at varying rates among the states and has reached differing results, but private rights in general have been relatively ineffective in restraining excessive pumping …

An Experimental Study on the Infiltration Potential of Stormwater Ponds in Zeekoe Catchment, Cape Town, South Africa
… can be useful for estimating desired volumetric recharge rates within a certain area. The hydraulic conductivity of the unsaturated layer is an essential non-linear function of soil-water content and has been generally recognised as the most important transport property to describe the ability of …

Assessing the energy implications of exploiting stormwater, through artificial aquifer recharge, as an alternative water source in the Cape Flats, South Africa
… and its yield can be further augmented by using artificial recharge with stormwater. Due to the location and water quality of the resource, several possible approaches have been identified for its exploitation. This study investigates quantitatively the energy implications of the three selected …
