[QUOTE="Allen, post: 50735, member: 389"] ASR in the West Fargo was one of the things we looked into when I worked on the RRV Water Supply Project. Needless to say, it also has its limitations. The two biggest concerns are: 1. Water clarity - basically, you have to remove all small particles of clay, organics, etc. If you are using a surface water supply, like the Red River, suspended solids are a significant concern. All those little inorganic suspended solids eventually plug the aquifer near the well bore and are tough to remove. 2. Similar to water clarity is water quality. One must do a good job of making sure the water quality of the source water is compatible with the water quality and aquifer matrix. If not, you will get chemical precipitates that do the same plugging as one gets if suspended solids are not removed. Not exactly things that can't be overcome, but not that many years ago the State wasn't such a fan of it. Probably because it conflicted with the Missouri River options for a water supply. [/QUOTE]
