... First, an improved understanding of the regional hydrogeologic framework, at the level of detail required to construct a regional scale numerical mode} of groundwater flow, is essential to assessing regional scale feasibility and impacts of the proposed regional ASR systems. Second, an improved understanding of water quality changes that will occur during storage of freshwater in the subsurface, and of the effects of modified water quality on human and ecological recipients of this water, is required to determine the chemical characteristics that can be used in assessments of recovery efficiency or recoverability at individual ASR wells.

... . Estimated evaporation losses from surface reservoirs should be compared with anticipated subsurface losses to the aquifer during ASR in order to quantify relative performance of surface and subsurface storage options.
