The House Research Organization has issued a new report Addressing water needs using aquifer storage and recovery. This report provides an introduction to aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) in Texas, including a history of ASR projects and a review of the regulatory structure that has evolved around the technology, including enactment of a new state law in 2015. It also examines uses for ASR, questions about the degree to which it could replace traditional, aboveground reservoirs, and some remaining challenges to its widespread implementation.
