Potential and Pitfalls for Sustainable Underground Storage of Recoverable Water

国家研究委员会（NRC）的水科学与技术委员会（WSTB）是在国家科学院和国家工程院的支持下，与水资源有关的各个方面研究的焦点。WSTB的目标是改善科学和技术基础，以解决与有效管理和利用地下水和地表水资源有关的重要国家问题和问题。委员会在履行其职责和为国家利益服务时，通过对水资源的具体和一般问题进行特别研究，响应有关评价和咨询意见的要求。在此背景下，该项目是WSTB的一项努力，旨在为科学界、水资源管理者和水资源政策/决策者提供有关利用地下含水层暂时储存水以供以后有益使用的建议。WSTB成立了一个委员会，就与使用地下储水有关的关键科学问题编写一份协商一致的报告。具体而言，该报告将(1)概述有关可持续地下储存技术和实施的研究和教育需求以及优先事项；(2)评估可能导致此类项目表现好坏的地质、地球化学、生物、工程和制度因素。

0434046 Parker The Water Science and Technology Board (WSTB) of the National Research Council (NRC) is the focal point for studies related to all aspects of water resources under the aegis of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering. The WSTB's objective is to improve the scientific and technological basis for resolving important national questions and issues associated with the efficient management and use of ground and surface water resources. In carrying out its responsibilities and in serving the national interest, the Board responds to requests for evaluations and advice through ad hoc studies concerning specific and generic issues in water resources. In this context, this project is an effort by the WSTB to provide advice to the scientific community, water managers, and water policy/decision makers regarding the use of underground aquifers to store water temporarily for later beneficial uses. The WSTB formed a committee to develop a consensus report on key scientific issues related to the use of underground storage of water. Specifically, the report will (1) provide an overview of the research and education needs and priorities concerning sustainable underground storage technology and implementation and (2) assess the geological, geochemical, biological, engineering, and institutional factors that may contribute to good or poor performance of such projects.
