From page 12...
... The project delivery team should be commended for recognizing the need for a regional study and for planning to pursue funding beyond the constraints of the currently funded pilot projects. Issues Discussed Workshop discussions included the items briefly listed below and expanded upon in the paragraphs that follow.

From page 13...
... This regional and sub-regional modeling effort should be considered distinct from more detailed modeling that may be required to assess local scale feasibility questions related to recharge "bubble" growth and migration. Because of the solution conduit and fracture flow nature of the UFA, conventional models that employ an equivalent porous medium approach are likely to be poor simulators of solute transport in the vicinity of recharge wells (Long and Billeaux, 1987; Cacas et al., ~ 990~.

From page 14...
... In conclusion, the pilot projects provide a valuable means for acquiring detailed information on ASR performance at a few specific sites. However, even if all the sites tested prove successful, they will not by themselves demonstrate the feasibility of ASR implementation regionally at the scale of 1.7 billion 8p]
