Abstract<br />

Better understanding of mixing and geo-chemical reactions would help<br />

in installation, operation and sustaining in aquifer storage recovery ASR system.<br />

Four successive cycles of 2000 m3 recharge and 2000 m3 recovery in each cycle<br />

were conducted in a cavity type brackish ASR well. Simple mixing as represented<br />

by chloride cumulative native water percentage in the recovered water at 100 %<br />

recovery M*(Cl- ) increased with recovery percentage (I) for all the quality<br />

parameters. It decreased linearly with successive number of cycles (SC) [M*(Cl- ) = -1.58 SC + 21.95; r2 = 0.99]. Calcite dissolution also<br />

decreased with successive number of cycles. Groundwater quality of the<br />

recovered water was better than that of native water. Potassium concentration<br />

of the recovered water was more than that of recharged water in all cycles.<br />

Potassium and borate released from Illite and Tourmaline mineral respectively<br />

were 1653 and 231 moles in 2000 m3 of recovered water during first ASR cycle.<br />

The study would find its application in conserving and better utilization of the<br />

scarce water resources in semi arid regions.<br />

Key words : Hydro geochemistry, Cavity ASR well, Interactions, successive ASR<br />

cycles<br />
