Assessing aquifer storage and recovery feasibility in Pingtung Plain, Taiwan
Abstract
Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is one promising strategy for managing surplus water and may overcome water shortages. The performances of ASR schemes are generally evaluated in terms of recovery efficiency, which is defined as percentage of water injected in to a system in an ASR site that fulfills the targeted water quality criterion. This study spatially assesses ASR feasibility based on the groundwater quality and the aquifer transmissivity. After determining the suitable area for ASR, a simplified analytical groundwater flow and transport model is used to evaluate the performance of ASR operation at the selected site. The results of this study may provide government administrator for establishing reliable evaluation of a ASR scheme.
