Develoo Ground-Water Recharae <br /> <br />Potential savings - none. Excess flows could be diverted through existing <br /> <br />punp stations, canals, and waterways to recharge ground--water aquifers by <br /> <br />developing turnouts, spreading basins and/or injection wells. The water <br /> <br />would later be recovered for direct or indirect beneficial use through the <br /> <br />developrent of well fields and exchange p4'"":l4a..lS. Specific ground-water <br /> <br />storage basins have not been defined or identified but these basins should <br />be in close proximity to waterways such as the AlI-AlIerican Canal, the <br /> <br />Central Arizona Project canal, the Colorado River l\queduct, or the Colorado <br /> <br />River . <br /> <br />PreliminaJ:y estimates indicate that water diverted through existing <br /> <br /> <br />facilities and stored in the subsurface could be developed for about $100 <br /> <br />per acre-feet , or $29 million per year. <br /> <br />1\dvantages: <br /> <br />o No evaporation losses. <br /> <br />o Better possibility of obtaining the right to recharge water. <br /> <br />p...'~ I <br />;::, 1 Q , ,,'~ ;\\ ~ s. ~ :' "":", ~ j <br />. ,t ~ ~ ;. ,:.;'. .~f. :, .~~:;: ,,~ [':; i~.; <br />. ,\ ' ' -' ,..."
