May Luncheon - Sonoma Valley Aquifer Storage and Recovery Pilot Study
The talk will describe an ongoing aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) pilot study recently initiated by the Sonoma County Water Agency and City of Sonoma to assess the feasibility of storing drinking water within a confined aquifer in Sonoma Valley. ASR generally involves the recharge and storage of treated, high quality surface water in aquifers during wet periods when surface water supplies are plentiful. The stored water can then be used in summer months or during droughts.
