Is Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) right for your community?

ASR is a drought-resilient water technology that moves excess water during times of plenty into aquifers for evaporation-free storage. Then, during times of drought or need, the water can be retrieved for beneficial use. ASR expands the use of underground aquifers to help meet water demands of Texas’ growing population, especially in the face of drought and climate change.

This one-day educational seminar will help you determine how ASR might work in your community.
