Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Project Overview
This video describes plans for an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASP) test project in the Elmodel Wildlife Management Area in Georgia. ASP is a way of storing water in deep aquifers until they are needed during periods of drought. Multimedia include a map of ASR Projects in the U.S. and an animation of the ASP process, which consists of pumping water from the shallow Floridan Aquifer into the deeper Claiborne and Clayton Aquifers. During dry periods, groundwater will be pumped from these storage aquifers to supplement river flow.

The Nature Conservancy - California’s Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems
This animation shows how groundwater and wetlands change during periods of drought, recharge, and from aquifer pumping. It shows how winter rains create seasonal wetlands and recharge the aquifer, allowing plants easy access to water. Intensive groundwater pumping in nearby wells can lower groundwater levels (aquifer depletion) and deplete the surface water, so less water is available to plants and animals.

Clean Water Webinar: Lessons Learned from the Supreme Court’s Maui Decision
Panelists discuss the history of the County of Maui v. Hawaii Wildlife Fund case, the legal and policy issues at stake, and what the decision might mean for the future of Clean Water Act regulation, permitting, and litigation.

How to Draw a Groundwater Flow Net
This video shows a groundwater flow net being sketched with pencil and paper. The video provides an opportunity to see that drawing a flow net is a process of trial-and-error.

Water found deep underground in Kenya
This video describes the drought-related conditions near Chukana, Kenya and the difficulty of accessing water. The video includes footage of a family digging soil to access groundwater. A nearby aquifer may provide a means to provide a sustainable supply of fresh water.

The Rise and Fall of Urban Groundwater
Video describes a study in South Dunedin, New Zealand, where rising sea level results in a corresponding groundwater level rise away from the coast, which can result in flooding (groundwater inundation) and other negative effects.
