Groundwater Injection explores alternative programs for protecting water resources by using natural aquifer systems, and describes their limitations and design criteria, including regulations, groundwater modeling, risk assessment, and pertinent case studies.

Groundwater Injection features:

• What sites are suitable for groundwater technologies
• Real-life groundwater injection project successes
• Why and how to assess the risks in projects
• Using models to predict costs, risks, and outcomes
• Regulatory and operational considerations Salinity factors
• Assorted example projects that demonstrate risk assessment, modeling, and other important concepts
