Aquifer Storage and Recovery Geochemical Water Parameters for South Florida

Geochemical Parameters to Evaluate Aquifer Storage and Recovery Reactions with Native Water and Aquifer Materials contains water-quality data for potential ASR source and receiving waters. The dataset was produced by the CEOS_EXTRA organization to support geochemical modeling for Everglades restoration projects. It was last updated in May 2000.

Use Cases

• Modeling radionuclide or trace element levels from interactions between injected water and aquifer materials.
• Predicting the fate of nutrients (C, N, P) from surface water stored in aquifers for prolonged periods.
• Evaluating risks of aquifer clogging or dissolution using chemical composition data of source and receiving waters.
• Assessing the fate of disinfection byproducts in stored water based on water-quality characteristics.

Strengths

• Data supports geochemical modeling for a critical Everglades restoration component.
• Focuses on specific, high-impact sites north of Lake Okeechobee and along the Hillsboro Canal.

Limitations

• Dataset is from 2000, so chemical conditions may have changed.
• Sample size and specific row/column counts are unknown.
• Geographic scope is limited to two study areas in South Florida.
