The Tarrant Regional Water District will develop an aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) well to increase groundwater recharge and storage, support regional climate adaptation, and demonstrate there are opportunities to scale this technology. The ASR well will increase groundwater supplies at Trinity River Authority’s water treatment plant in east Fort Worth, Texas. Water will be sourced from Richland Chambers and Cedar Creek Reservoirs and the George W. Shannon Wetlands in East Texas. This project will recharge an aquifer with extra water that will regenerate ground water resources by repurposing water by putting it back into a depleted aquifer.
