“…A review of density effects in ASR systems is given in Ward et al (2007). A description of practical applications was given by, e.g., Reese (2002), who presents an inventory of ASR systems in southern Florida. Ward et al (2008) performed a numerical study of ASR in a layered aquifer system; one of their simulations is used for a comparison later in this paper.…”

A new accurate numerical solution is presented for aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) systems in coastal aquifers; flow is approximated as radial Dupuit interface flow. The radial velocities of points on the interface are a function of time, the vertical coordinate, and the dimensionless parameter D (the discharge of the well divided by the product of the hydraulic conductivity, the square of the aquifer thickness, and the dimensionless density difference). The recovery efficiency of an ASR system (the ratio of the recovered volume of water divided by the injected volume of water) is determined by D and by the relative lengths of the injection, storage and recovery periods. Graphs are produced for the recovery efficiency as a function of parameter D for ASR operations with and without storage periods and for multiple cycles. The presented solutions and graphs are to be used as screening tools to assess the feasibility of specific injection, storage and recovery scenarios of planned ASR systems in saltwater aquifers without having to run complicated flow and transport models. When the screening tool indicates that recovery efficiencies are acceptable, the consideration of other features such as mixing and chemistry is warranted.

“…The proposed storage zone for the ASR wells is the Upper Floridan aquifer, which is also the aquifer used for most of the existing ASR sites in south Florida (Reese, 2002). The Upper Floridan is continuous throughout south Florida, and its overlying confi nement generally is good.…”

“…Typically, the salinity of the injected and recovered water is closely monitored, usually on a daily basis. During recovery, salinity of the water increases with time, and recovery is terminated when the salinity of the water reaches a predetermined level (generally 250 mg/L or slightly higher if the recovered water is mixed with potable water at a watertreatment plant) (Reese, 2002). High salinity levels also can cause buoyant stratifi cation, with the injected water rising over the native water.…”

“…ASR systems have been proposed as part of the Everglades plan because, in comparison to surface-water storage, underground storage would limit evaporation of the stored water and require less land for storage (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and South Florida Water Management District, 1999). Although ASR systems have been constructed at 26 sites in south Florida as of April 2001 (Reese, 2002), the scale of the ASR systems that are proposed for south Florida as part of the CERP-as much as 1.6 Bgal/d using about 330 wells-is unprecedented. The existing ASR systems consist predominantly of single-well systems located at municipal water-treatment plants, and the capacity of each well is substantially smaller than envisioned in the CERP.…”

“…High salinity levels also can cause buoyant stratifi cation, with the injected water rising over the native water. Other factors that affect the recovery effi ciency of ASR systems include aquifer thickness and permeability, ambient hydraulic gradients, volume of injected water, duration and frequency of injection and withdrawal phases, duration of storage phases, the total number of completed injection-storagewithdrawal cycles, and well-bore plugging (Merritt, 1985;Pyne, 1995;Yobbi, 1997;Reese, 2002).…”

The injection of liquid from a central well into a partially saturated aquifer of finite thickness is described using similarity solutions. The solutions illustrate that injection leads to a growing zone around the source in which the fluid fills the whole depth of the aquifer. Beyond this zone, the current adjusts to the depth in the far field as the fluid slumps under gravity. The radial extent of the zone in which the aquifer is fully flooded depends on the ratio of the buoyancy-driven flow speed to the pressure-driven flow speed associated with the injection. New laboratory experiments, using a model porous medium, support the model predictions in the case of an initially unsaturated layer. The analysis is then developed to allow for a fully saturated aquifer, containing fluid of lower density than the injectate, and a further class of similarity solutions is developed. Again, these are shown to be consistent with new laboratory experiments. In concluding, we briefly consider how the results may be combined, to explore the self-similar dynamics of a relatively dense fluid injected into an aquifer which is partially saturated with fluid of smaller density.
