Abstract

Clogging is a local reduction in permeability caused by the filling or obstruction of pores and pore throats. Clogging can be the result of physical, chemical, or biological processes, or some combination of the three. The principle loci of clogging in managed aquifer recharge (MAR) systems is at or just below the infiltration surface (e.g., basin floor) in land application systems and at the borehole wall in systems that use wells for recharge. It is through these interfaces that the recharge water flows must pass with any entrained suspended solids, air bubbles, nutrients, and other ions and uncharged species. The infiltration surface and borehole wall are thus the preferred site of the filtration of suspended solids, biological growth, and biogeochemical reactions (mineral precipitation and alteration). An important element in the design and operation of managed aquifer recharge systems is minimizing the potential for clogging and developing cost-effective strategies for rehabilitating systems to restore their performance.
