important to the overall assessment of ASR feasibility and effectiveness. These include performance of surface and subsurface storage, a comparison of losses from surface evaporation and subsurface storage, the number and distribution of wells required for a regional ASR system, and estimates of energy costs for operation over the anticipated project life.
