  2. Topics 1. Why Privately Develop Managed Aquifer Recharge? 2. What are: Recharge Development Corporation  An Aquifer Recharge Unit (ARU)?  3. How Does this work?  Is this legal?  4. Where are eligible basins? 5. When can this happen?

  3. Why Privately Develop Managed Aquifer Recharge?

  4. Storage (ARU) Natural Flow (Water Right)

  5. What are:  Recharge Development Corporation  An Aquifer Recharge Unit (ARU)?

  6. Recharge Development Corporation Mission Establish self-perpetuating Private Managed Aquifer Recharge in basins throughout the world

  7. Aquifer Recharge Unit (ARU) An ARU represents one acre-foot of space in the aquifer equivalent to one acre-foot of space in a surface reservoir.

  8. How  Does the process work?  Is this legal?

  9. Creating New RDC™ Patented Process for Owning Recharged Water Opportunities Purchaser RDC Accounting for ARUs filled Water Delivery through MAR

  10. Article available at idahowaterengineering.com and at rechargedevelopment.com

  11. Where  Are eligible basins?

  12. If wells in a groundwater basin: 1. Are now being regulated or are facing curtailment due to insufficient water supply, and 2. Are proximate to a source of supply that during some periods has excess flow (such as during spring runoff), and 3. Divert from an aquifer that is physically amenable to ground water recharge. Then, we recommend a consultation.

  14. When can this happen?

  15. Recharge Site Starts 2016 2017 2018 In Discussion Later in 2018 Future Major Projects

  16. Summary  RDC is ready now to assist implementation of Private Managed Aquifer Recharge in basins where groundwater uses are restricted.
