Hillsboro Aquifer Storage & Recovery Pilot
headline dots

Project Mission:
Construct an ASR facility and cycle test the technology for two consecutive years.

Project Benefits:
Provide the technology necessary to answer technical questions about the use of Aquifer Storage & Recovery (ASR) for CERP. Help identify the most suitable sites for the ASR wells and best configuration of the wells in the Loxahatchee Basin. It will also provide information about the local aquifers and the effects to the stored water.

Project Description

The Hillsboro Site 1 above ground impoundment operates in conjunction with multiple aquifer storage and recovery wells in order to maximize the benefits of the impoundment. A pilot project for these wells is necessary to determine, the hydrogeological and geotechnical characteristics of the subsurface and aquifer, the most suitable sites for the aquifer storage and recovery wells in the vicinity of the impoundment and the optimum configuration of those wells. The pilot project will serve as the platform for the ASR Regional Study Team to determine the quality of water characteristics within the aquifer as well as the quality of water proposed for injection and water recovered from the aquifer.
