Aquifer Storage and Recovery

Aspect's aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) capabilities offer clients an innovative opportunity to meet peak water supply demands. Our hydrogeologists develop conceptual models to define target aquifer zones, apply groundwater flow and geochemical models to assess ASR feasibility, and plan and implement pilot testing to prove up the ASR reservoir attributes. We assist you with the evolving ASR regulatory process and actively seek grant funding solutions that can minimize owners' project costs.
