U.S. Geological Survey artificial recharge workshop proceedings, April 2-4, 2002, Sacramento, California

摘要: An overview of artificial recharge studies requires a precise definition the topic to be covered. Todd (1959) defines recharge, for his bibliography, as “the practice increasing by means amount water that enters ground-water reservoir.” For this review, narrower is invoked includes direct potable through spreading basins, pits, and injection or drainage wells, but excludes induced infiltration from galleries, collectors placed near streams. Deep well waste disposal irrigation with sewage effluent mechanism are not included. Literature reviews, except those used here, papers only mention solution water-supply problems also omitted. Sources information review include Todd’s bibliography 1954, Signor et al.’s (1970) 1955-67, web-based Water Resources Abstracts period after 1967. Studies have resulted in citation sources, such summarized administrative reports, thus Early U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) interest focused on use wells reclaim wetlands agriculture, reference sites Michigan, Georgia, Arkansas, Minnesota (Horton, 1905; Crider, 1906; Fuller, 1911; Hall al., 1911). Many described these failed due clogging sediment suspended water. Drainage recharged Floridan aquifer, consisting highly porous permeable limestone were more successful, Stringfield (1933, 1936) describes an extensive network Orlando, Florida storm runoff aquifer. The hydrologic quality impacts Unklesbay Cooper (1946). tapping fractured basalt aquifers successful. Stearns al. (1938) (1939) describe pit drain surface into basalts Snake River Plain Idaho. Significant developed during 1930s, particularly California New York, conserve enhance storage. In California, alluvial basins began about turn century, was widespread 1930s. However, I found no record USGS involvement related period. levels significant area western Long Island had been drawn down below sea level early 1930’s pumpage, much it air conditioning. cool ground heat exchangers, then often discharged waste. Legislation passed 1933 required pumped conditioning recharged, either basins. Hydrologic temperature effects analyzed Leggette Brashears (1938), (1941, 1946).
