Other ID: Aquifer Storage and Revocery (ASR) Research

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s): SFWMD ASR Bioclogging (GR.25.MN00.U08A1.00)

Principal Investigator(s): John Lisle

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s):

Data Type(s): Sampling: Geology, Geochemical: Experiments (geochemical)

Scientific Purpose/Goals: 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.

Vehicle(s): Ford Explorer Blue, Chevy Suburban Silver

Start Port/Location:

End Port/Location:

Start Date: 2024-05-16

End Date: 2025-01-31

Equipment Used: Rotary Corer

Information to be 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.
