It is estimated that 390 000 ML of storm water/effluent is generated in South Australia annually. Most is discharged, with less than 5% being reused. In recent times attitudes have changed and the resource potential of this water is being recognised, particularly in situations where a potable standard is not required. South Australia currently leads the nation in experimenting and implementing a policy of reuse, especially for irrigation. This involves aquifer storage and recovery, a management tool which enables conjunctive surface water and groundwater resource management as an alternative to the traditional methods such as licensing and quota restrictions. Research and development in South Australia indicates that aquifer storage and recovery is practical in different aquifer environments. This paper summarises selected technical information on aquifer storage and recovery activities in South Australia including well construction, clogging mechanisms, aquifer hydraulics and other related issues.
