Expanded Executive Summary City of Sanford Auxiliary (No. 2) Water Treatment Plant Aquifer Storage and Recovery System. Special Publication SJ2012-SP6

摘要

This Expanded Executive Summary summarizes the work accomplished by Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. (CDM) for the City of Sanford Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Project at the City of Sanford Auxiliary (Aux) (No. 2) Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The ASR system consists of an ASR well, two storage zone monitoring wells, and one confining zone monitoring well, as well as a pretreatment system. The St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) is investigating several alternative water supply strategies to be used in conjunction with fresh groundwater to meet future potable water demands. ASR has been identified as being an important component in the development of alternative water supplies, as it can potentially provide very large volumes of seasonal water storage, such as excess wet-season surface water flows. The SJRWMD sponsored an ASR feasibility and testing program for higher demand areas within the priority water resource caution areas of the District to evaluate if ASR can be successfully used as a tool for helping to meet future potable water demands. Five cities and counties partnered with SJRWMD as cooperators in the program.
