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.
Projects	SFWMD ASR Bioclogging
Platform	on foot survey conducted on foot
