Research questions
- How can Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) systems be improved so as to maintain or enhance favorable soil-water interactions (like denitrification and biodegradation of pollutants) while minimizing the negative interactions with the local environment (such as arsenic mobilization)?
- What are the risks of well clogging during ASR operation and what can be done to prevent this clogging?
- How can ASR fresh water lenses be monitored and prevented from drifting away due to lateral groundwater flow and/or buoyancy?
- How can the ASR performance within a region be estimated a priori using ASR performance estimation methods, basic hydrogeological data and GIS?
