Comparison of Alternative Methods for Recharge of a Deep Aquifer

Research completed during this project can be applied to similar environments where excessive pumping, limited recharge, and water quality problems have affected the aquifer system. There are many potential benefits from this research: 1. The exploratory drilling, sampling, and monitoring programs provide examples of methods useful in characterizing the unsaturated zone as part of a recharge feasibility assessment 2. Measurement and sampling of water in discrete vertical intervals can be applied to similar projects to define the progression of a recharge wetting front 3. This project advances the understanding of geochemical changes to surface-recharged water in arid environments Research Partners: El Paso Water Utilities and U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, El Paso Field DivisionHahn, W. is the author of 'Comparison of Alternative Methods for Recharge of a Deep Aquifer', published 2004 under ISBN 9781843398684 and ISBN 1843398680.
