    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_storage_and_recovery

    Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is the direct injection of surface water supplies such as potable water, reclaimed water (i.e. rainwater), or river water into an aquifer for later recovery and use. The injection and extraction is often done by means of a well.

An aquifer is a geologic formation, a group of formations, or a part of a formation that contains sufficient saturated permeable material to yield significant quantities of water to groundwater wells and springs.

  6. Groundwater banking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater_banking

    There are regulatory storage-type aquifer recovery and storage systems which when water is injected into it gives the right to withdraw the water later on. [2] Groundwater banking has been implemented into semi-arid and arid southwestern United States because this is where there is the most need for extra water. [ 2 ]

  7. Specific storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_storage

    The specific storage is the amount of water that a portion of an aquifer releases from storage, per unit mass or volume of the aquifer, per unit change in hydraulic head, while remaining fully saturated. Mass specific storage is the mass of water that an aquifer releases from storage, per mass of aquifer, per unit decline in hydraulic head:

  8. Aquifer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer

    Schematic of an aquifer showing confined zones, groundwater travel times, a spring and a well. An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing material, consisting of permeable or fractured rock, or of unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt). Aquifers vary greatly in their characteristics.

  9. Aquifer thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_thermal_energy_storage

    Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) is the storage and recovery of thermal energy in subsurface aquifers. ATES can heat and cool buildings. ATES can heat and cool buildings. Storage and recovery is achieved by extraction and injection of groundwater using wells .
