The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District is in the process of finalizing a comprehensive study on research related to the use of Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR), an Everglades restoration component proposed as part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) to recharge, store and recover water underground for ecological restoration uses.

The study, which documents the results of over a decade’s worth of scientific and engineering investigations, will serve as a technical guide when considering ASR implementation as part of future Everglades restoration efforts and is scheduled to be finalized by this summer.
