KWR in het nieuws B. de la Loma Gonzalez - ASR-Coastal (Aquifer Storage & Recovery in coastal, brackish-saline aquifers)

“ASR – Coastal is an innovative technology to safeguard a sustainable fresh water supply in coastal areas. The idea behind ASR – Coastal is to infiltrate freshwater surpluses like e.g. rainwater and surface water during rather wet periods in the deeper subsurface via multiple partially penetrating wells (MPPW) for shallow recovery when it is needed. Optionally, intruding brackish-saline water can be intercepted and used as additional freshwater resource upon desalination. This method of injection and recovery makes it possible to satisfy the seasonal supply-demand, and meanwhile counteracts both salt water intrusion and subsidence.”
