The City of Tea Tree Gully is seeking to establish an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) project at the Tea Tree Gully Golf Course, which is located approximately 20 km north-east of the city of Adelaide. The application of ASR would enable the golf course to store treated effluent and storm water runoff in subsurface aquifers during annual wet periods, and retrieve it for irrigation purposes during dry periods. The source of the effluent will be the 160 mg/L per year produced in the nearby residential suburb of Banksia Park. This storage and retrieval will have beneficial effects on effluent and storm water management within the area, and on irrigation usage at the golf course. The Groundwater Section of the Department for Water Resources has been requested to undertake a desk top hydrogeological study on the potential of ASR utilising local aquifer systems in the golf course area. The main objectives of this study were to: 路 review existing available data and assess the potential for ASR at Tea Tree Gully Golf Course. 路 review any licensing requirements. 路 design and cost the estimated number of production and injection wells required, including piping, pumps and control systems. 路 propose a costed detailed work plan to finalise the proposal. 路 assess the need of a numerical model to predict likely impact of injection.
