Objectives of this project are to: 1) Assess the strengths and weakness of available geologic, hydrogeologic, hydrologic, hydraulic and hydrochemical information at existing aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) sites; 2) Conduct a review of existing conceptual geologic and hydrogeologic frameworks; 3) Identify factors which locally or regionally constrain the efficient recovery and storage of water within the Upper Floridan aquifer; and, 4) Identify successful techniques and methodologies that private and public operators have employed during the development of ASR facilities in south Florida and evaluate and identify problems and weaknesses of methods employed.
