CEOS_EXTRA conducted a five-year study, initiated around 2004, to inventory and assess aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) sites in south Florida. The work involved a critical review of hydrogeologic, hydraulic, and well construction data from over 30 existing ASR sites. Its objective was to establish a regional framework to guide the location and design of future ASR wells.
Use Cases
- Analyze relationships between well construction features and recovery efficiency across sites.
- Model the impact of brackish aquifer water quality on stored freshwater recovery using hydrochemical data.
- Identify regional hydrogeologic factors constraining storage efficiency from site inventory assessments.
- Compare cycle test performance metrics from ASR sites with adequate operational data.
Strengths
- Analysis based on data from over 30 existing ASR sites in south Florida.
- Study conducted over a defined five-year period with multiple phases for data collection and review.
Limitations
- Dataset is from a study last updated in 2004, making the findings potentially temporally stale.
- Specific row counts, column details, and sample data are unavailable for review.
- Focus is limited to the Upper Floridan aquifer in south Florida, limiting geographic generalizability.
