With the exodus of families from the overpopulated urban centers to our peaceful communities, we are finding strains placed on the infrastructure and resources.  Communities will quickly find ways to maximize the efficiency of the existing treatment and delivery systems, though are lacking in the application of efficient source water management.  Water companies work hardest to make peak day delivery.  In all reality, this should be the easiest day of the year if the water resources are efficiently managed in the fall, winter, and spring seasons.

Placing potable water underground provides an alternative to surface tanks or large earthen reservoirs.  The water is secure, does not require chlorination, and uses only the property required for the recharge/recovery wells.  Using underground storage, water can be moved to location of demand when the pipelines are under low demand or water is available, recovering the water for peak delivery at location of need.  Excess storm run-off water can be polished through simple, natural means, and placed into the underground aquifer.  Placing water underground should become a common tool to all agencies to round out the management of our water resources during the off seasons.  Recharge technology applications will be discussed from California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire, and across the globe in Norway, Japan, China, Brazil, and Australia.
