“…Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is one of the most effective methods to augment the groundwater resources [1][2][3]. It may form part of conjunctive use schemes, or be applied to increase water availability and improve water quality.…”

Abstract:The implementation and development of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) have been limited by the clogging attributed to physical, chemical, and biological reactions. In application field of MAR, physical clogging is usually the dominant type. Although numerous studies on the physical clogging mechanism during MAR are available, studies on the more detailed suspended clogging types and its prediction methods still remain few. In this study, a series of column experiments were inducted to show the process of suspended solids clogging process. The suspended solids clogging was divided into three types of surface clogging, inner clogging and mixed clogging based on the different clogging characteristics. Surface clogging indicates that the suspended solids are intercepted by the medium surface when suspended solids grain diameter is larger than pore diameter of infiltration medium. Inner clogging indicates that the suspended solids particles could transport through the infiltration medium. Mixed clogging refers to the comprehensive performance of surface clogging and inner clogging. Each suspended solids clogging type has the different clogging position, different changing laws of hydraulic conductivity and different deposition profile of suspended solids. Based on the experiment data, the ratio of effective medium pore diameter (D p ) and median grain size of suspended solids (d 50 ) was proposed as the judgment index for suspended solids clogging types.

“…However, their vision of 'Cities and the Underworld' deals directly with groundwater systems and highlights a future where infrastructure is increasingly built underground in cities and the subsurface is more effectively managed to deliver effective drainage, water storage, heating and cooling. These concepts are in keeping with recent research which highlights the benefits of modern urban innovation and policy, for example, growing investment in smart utilities and digital technologies (Angelidou 2015), conjunctive use of alternative water storage and water re-use options (Dillon et al, 2006;Hunt et al, 2013;Rojas-Torres et al, 2014), decentralized water supply systems (Chen et al, 2010) and green infrastructure and sustainable urban drainage (Chow et al, 2014;Dearden and Price, 2012).…”

A B S T R A C TCity planners, urban innovators and researchers are increasingly working on 'future city' initiatives to investigate the physical, social and political aspects of harmonized urban living. Despite this, sustainability principles and the importance of urban groundwater are lacking in future city visions. Using London as a case study, the importance of groundwater for cities is highlighted and a range of future city interventions may impact on groundwater are reviewed. Using data from water resource plans and city planning strategies, changes in the groundwater balance which may occur as a result of city interventions are calculated for two future city scenarios: a 'strategic' future informed by organisational policy and an 'aspirational' future guided by sustainability principles. For London, under a strategic future, preferential investment in industry-scale technologies such as wastewater treatment and groundwater storage would occur. Acknowledgement that behaviour change offers the potential for a faster rate of transformation than innovation technologies is ignored. The capacity of community-led action and smart-home technologies to deliver sustainable water use under an aspirational future is evident, with a measurable impact on urban groundwater. These methods may be used to inform city interventions that consider the social context in addition to environmental constraints and business drivers.

“…First of all, it entails alternating phases of injection and abstraction in the same well. This results in an inversion of the water circulation in the well screen and in the surrounding aquifer, thereby reducing clogging (Dillon et al 2006;Pyne 2005Pyne , 2006. Secondly, the use of the same well for injection reduces investment costs.…”

As covered in Chap. 2, many of the world's aquifers are rapidly being depleted. Nearly one quarter of the world's population -1.7 billion people -live in regions where more water is being consumed than nature can renew (Gleeson et al. 2012). Over-exploitation occurs when groundwater abstraction is too intensive, for example for irrigation or for direct industrial water-supply like extracting fossil fuels Foster et al. 2013). When groundwater is continuously over-pumped, year after year, the volume withdrawn from the aquifer cannot be replaced by recharge. Eventually, the groundwater level is much lower than its initial level and even when pumping stops, the aquifer has trouble rising once again to its original level. In continental zones, overexploitation can lead to groundwater drawdown and, ultimately, to subsidence through development of sinkholes when underground caverns or channels collapse. In coastal areas, the decrease in groundwater recharge results in saltwater intrusion into the aquifer formation (Petalas and Lambrakis 2006;De Montety et al. 2008). Preserving local groundwater resources is an environmental and economic issue in coastal zones and is vital in an island context. The increasing demand for water caused by a growing population can lead to the salinization of groundwater resources if these are systematically over-exploited. Limiting the salinization of coastal aquifers is consistent with the groundwater objective of the European Union Water Framework Directive, which is to achieve a good qualitative and quantitative status by 2015. The economic advantage of preserving these threatened water resources is that, when there is a growing demand, a local water resource is sustained and there is no need to import water. Transporting water can cost 2-10 times more than limiting the intrusion of saltwater into a coastal aquifer.
