摘要:The purpose of this paper is to evaluate three different water resources operational scenarios
for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Project (CERP) Aquifer, Storage and Recov-
ery (ASR) scheme. The ASR scheme for the CERP proposes to utilize 333 wells to store up to
6,300,000 cubic meters of freshwater per day into a brackish water carbonate aquifer located
in southern Florida, USA. The three different schemes analyzed represent a range of realistic
operational plans that could be utilized for the restoration project. The various ASR
operational schemes were developed based upon existing research and new numerical
modeling efforts. The numerical model developed is capable of simulating the mixing of
freshwater and ambient groundwater within the Floridan Aquifer System. The modeling effort
determined that each of the three operational schemes tested could represent the optimal plan
depending upon the site-specific geology and hydrodynamics. Therefore, care must be taken
in matching the best operational scheme to the given geological environment. In addition, the
modeling effort demonstrated that the long-term cumulative recovery efficiency assumed for
the CERP ASR plan should be feasible and obtainable.
