Florida Aquifer Storage and Recovery Research

Florida Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Research involves temporarily storing excess surface water, such as during heavy rains, in underground aquifers—natural underground layers of water-bearing rock—for future use. This method helps manage water supplies, especially during droughts, by injecting, storing, and retrieving water efficiently. Research focuses on understanding how different water qualities, geological conditions, and environmental factors affect the safety and sustainability of this process. Overall, ASR aims to enhance water resource management, ensuring reliable supplies while protecting ecological health.
