Seasonal overcapacity of the production of desalinated seawater on one hand, and the lack of large storage facilities for drinking water – like dams – on the other, make artificial storage/recharge and recovery (ASR) of groundwater with desalinated seawater an obvious and strategically important choice for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Once implemented, this project will represent a benchmark for water management in desert regions, capable to redefine international standards.
