The ability to store water is critical to any water system. This is particularly true where water consumption is highly seasonal. In such circumstances, aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) can be both a practical and a cost-effective solution.

ASR is a simple and proven concept that uses existing aquifers, either fresh or saline, to store treated water. The process employs conventional well and pumping equipment to inject excess water into an aquifer for storage and recover that same water for use during times of peak water demand or seasonal drought.

ASR technology has been perfected over the past three decades and has an impeccable record for dependability. As a result, ASR is growing in application and popularity for five key reasons:

• ASR saves money vs. conventional above-ground storage solutions;
• ASR is highly flexible in both design and application;
• ASR is environmentally friendly to natural hydrology, plant life and wildlife;
• A properly designed ASR system can often increase the quality of the natural water supply and;
• In many applications plant capacity can be reduced by designing for annual, rather than seasonal online factors, thus reducing the overall cost of water.

TSG is highly experienced with this innovative technology and is prepared to demonstrate the cost, dependability and environmental benefits that an ASR facility can bring to your industrial, municipal, residential or resort water supply system.
