“…Water quality issues due to contaminants present in reclaimed water, background shallow groundwater, and urban stormwater runoff associated with adverse health effects have only recently received attention and can diminish the water quality of the recovered groundwater Ayuso-Gabella et al, 2011;Peterson et al, 2011;Debroux et al, 2012).…”

Utilization of underlying local aquifers to treat, store, and recover locally produced reclaimed water provides the potential to reduce costs, energy, and infrastructure requirements of water supplies in urban areas. However, water quality issues, limited design and operational guidance, and physical footprint requirements are impeding the implementation of artificial recharge and recovery (ARR) systems in urban water infrastructure configurations. This article reviews the current practice of ARR and proposes approaches to improve the integration into urban settings regarding (1) feasibility of a reduced physical footprint of ARR systems, while maintaining water quality benefits and maximizing yield; and (2) manipulating subsurface hydrological, geochemical, and biological conditions to increase attenuation of key contaminants. The contribution of this interdisciplinary review article is to outline ways to achieve improved design and control strategies of ARR systems that ensure cost-effective water supply and consistent water quality by leveraging current understanding and technology.

“…Reclaimed water as source water is found at two active MAR sites. One MAR site uses this source water type for agricultural purposes in Spain (Ayuso-Gabella et al 2011), and the other site produces domestic drinking water with reclaimed water in Belgium (van Houtte et al 2012). In Torreele/St-Andre (Belgium), treated wastewater is infiltrated in a dune area.…”

Different types of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) schemes are widely distributed and applied on various scales and for various purposes in the European countries, but a systematic categorization and compilation of data has been missing up to now. The European MAR catalogue presented herein contains various key parameters collected from the available literature. The catalogue includes 224 currently active MAR sites found in 23 European countries. Large quantities of drinking water are produced by MAR sites in Hungary,

“…With pretreatment before recharge to ensure a sustainable recharge rate and protection of the aquifer and post-treatment on the recovery of the water to meet human health and environmental risk requirements, the water recovered from the aquifer may be used for drinking water supplies [6,8,9,32], industrial water [6], urban municipal irrigation [6,7,17], horticultural irrigation [16,17] toilet flushing [17], and sustaining habitat such as urban wetlands [17]. In this study, particular focus is given to examples of waters of impaired quality relevant to urban environments: urban storm water and recycled wastewater.…”

Abstract:To meet increasing urban water requirements in a sustainable way, there is a need to diversify future sources of supply and storage. However, to date, there has been a lag in the uptake of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) for diversifying water sources in urban areas. This study draws on examples of the use of MAR as an approach to support sustainable urban water management. Recharged water may be sourced from a variety of sources and in urban centers, MAR provides a means to recycle underutilized urban storm water and treated wastewater to maximize their water resource potential and to minimize any detrimental effects associated with their disposal. The number, diversity and scale of urban MAR projects is growing internationally due to water shortages, fewer available dam sites, high evaporative losses from surface storages, and lower costs compared with alternatives where the conditions are favorable, including water treatment. Water quality improvements during aquifer storage are increasingly being documented at demonstration sites and more recently, full-scale operational urban schemes. This growing body of knowledge allows more confidence in understanding the potential role of aquifers in water treatment for regulators. In urban areas, confined aquifers provide better protection for waters recharged via wells to supplement potable water supplies. However, unconfined aquifers may generally be used for nonpotable purposes to substitute for municipal water supplies and, in some cases, provide adequate protection for recovery as potable water. The barriers to MAR adoption as part of sustainable urban water management include lack of awareness of recent developments and a lack of transparency in costs, but most importantly the often fragmented nature of urban water resources and environmental management.
