2013 NGWA Summit — The National and International Conference on Groundwater

Everything Aquifer Storage and Recovery

Wednesday, May 1, 2013: 1:35 p.m.-3:15 p.m.
Regency West 5 (Hyatt Regency San Antonio)
Effective management of aquifers and regional water resources requires you to expand your planning options with reliable groundwater resources that can meet water needs in periods of drought and high demand. What is the importance of hydrogeologic characterization to a successful ASR project, as well as the value of a public policy promoting ASR? Presentations will address innovative techniques that maximize system efficiency; technological advances that address ASR well development and maintenance; water treatment technologies; exploitation of alternative water supplies, such as stormwater and water reuse; and integration of ASR alternatives into regional planning and infrastructure financing for a climate-resilient system.
