Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Feasibility Study, Murrumbidgee Region

Print This Article

Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) is a process where water is added to aquifers via injection wells or surface water storages, and then extracted when required.

GHD carried out a feasibility study to assess the potential of ASR to halt or reverse falling groundwater levels and to increase groundwater available for irrigation and environmental flows in the Murrumbidgee region of New South Wales.

A conceptual understanding of the groundwater system was developed and used to inform construction of an artificial recharge groundwater model leading to conceptual design and a risk assessment of the ASR project were it to be completed.
