Overview
Underground storage of water using injection well technology can provide significant improvements in reliability and cost stabilization to a water system. The benefits of a groundwater storage and recovery program include:

• Reliability and Cost Stabilization
  
• Potential Improvement of Existing Groundwater Quality
  
• Drought Banking Capabilities
  
• Incremental Expansion
  
• Minimal Treatment Standards
  
• No Reduction in Storage Capacity Over Time
  
• Minimal Environmental Impacts
  
• Earthquake-Resilient Storage System
  
• No Evaporation Loss During Storage
  

Fugro's Services
Fugro has conducted feasibility studies and pilot programs as well as full-scale design for aquifer storage and recovery projects for numerous city water departments and special water districts in California. The studies have included injection capacity testing and existing well-retrofit prior to actual facility design.
Our services include:

• Feasibility and pilot programs including geochemical modeling, flow/transport simulation, pilot well construction/testing, and economic analysis
  
  
• Regulatory and Permitting including construction permits, NPDES, DHS applications/certifications, and RWQCB coordination.
  
  
• Well Field Design, well siting and design, wellhead and facility design, well construction inspection, and existing well retrofits.
  
  
• Operating Strategies including flow/transport confirmation, RWQCB monitoring/reporting, and well efficiency analysis.
