Field Activity 2024-314-FA

Identifier 2024-314-FA
Alternate names Aquifer Storage and Revocery (ASR) Research
Purpose Quantify the rates of bioclogging, nutrient removal and microbial pathogen inactivation associated with the constituents in the surface water recharged into different aquifer zones as part of the aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) technology as part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan.
Location Within a 50 mile radius of the Kissimmee River ASR facility
Summary This is an ongoing project and a summary of the project is not appropriate at this time.
Info derived Rates of bioclogging associated with different surface water sources and aquifer storage zones, reductions in the concentrations of nutrients and inactivation of microbial pathogen in the surface water recharged into the aquifers.
Comments As this project is ongoing and field trips are determined by activities at the research sites that are not under the control of the USGS, all vehicle reservations are requested at least a day ahead of required use. Aquifer storage and recovery research.
