Aquifer Recharge and Surface Water Restoration Facility

Each natural Aquifer Recharge, Storage and Recovery ARSR) structure creates marketable groundwater rights by diverting surface water into the underlying aquifer or alluvial deposit. Aquifer Group's scientists and engineers use our independently proven and proprietary Integrated Resource, Runoff, Recharge, Reserve and Recovery (IR5™) methodology to quickly and efficiently locate sites of lost or undeveloped aquifer recharge, and identify rangeland where reduction of brush can increase both diffuse and surface water flow for diversion.

Once a particular site is located, we use traditional hydrologic, geologic, and other site-specific assessments to verify and document each groundwater and/or surface water restoration project. Viable recharge and surface water restoration projects are then developed using our proven construction methods. Most recharge facilities resemble improved pastures draining to earthen soil conservation dams.

After each moderate rainfall event, a typical facility will quickly divert, filter, and store over 2,000 acre feet of water into the underlying aquifer or alluvial deposit. Surface water and aquifer recharge viability is determined by water quality, water quantity, title to water rights and the financial value each structure produces annually or throughout is 50 to 150 years of useful life.
