Presentation Abstract
Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) is a water management technique used for storing water underground during periods of plentiful water and recovering that water during dry periods or periods of high demand. Georgetown Water and Sewer maintains multiple ASR wells throughout the county and utilizes them primarily during high tourism months when the demand for water is much higher. ASR systems benefit Georgetown County by supplementing the water supply when needed. Globally, many municipalities are experiencing the pressures of population growth amid finite water resources. ASR is a viable water management option that can relieve these pressures as well as bring economic and environmental benefits to the communities that utilize it.
