Potential and Pitfalls for Sustainable Underground Storage of Recoverable Water

0434046帕克国家研究理事会（NRC）的水科学和技术委员会（WSTB）是国家科学院和国家工程院下属的水资源各方面研究的协调中心。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。在履行其职责和为国家利益服务时，该委员会通过对水资源方面的具体和一般问题进行特别研究，对要求进行评价和提供咨询意见的请求作出回应。在此背景下，该项目是WSTB努力向科学界、水资源管理者和水资源政策/决策者提供关于使用地下含水层临时储存水供以后有益使用的建议。WSTB成立了一个委员会，就与地下水储存有关的关键科学问题制定一份共识报告。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及优先事项，（2）评估可能有助于此类项目良好或不良绩效的地质、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.
