Join two of the most experienced practitioners in the field—R. David G. Pyne, PE, and Grant L. Snyder, PG—for an in-depth, practical workshop on Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) using wells. Designed for professionals at all levels, this session explores the technical, scientific, and engineering aspects of ASR systems, with a focus on real-world applications. David Pyne, author of A Guide to Groundwater Recharge through Wells, brings over 45 years of experience and a legacy of presenting at ISMAR, BSMAR, and ASCE events. Grant Snyder, a seasoned hydrogeologist with 35+ years of field expertise in Texas, brings firsthand knowledge of ASR systems like SAWS and NBU. Through a mix of presentations and interactive discussion, you'll learn how to evaluate ASR feasibility, design recharge systems, and assess operational performance across various water sources and aquifer types. Economic and regulatory considerations will also be addressed, with illustrative case studies—particularly from the Edwards Aquifer. An optional field trip to the San Antonio Water System H2Oaks Center will provide a hands-on look at one of the region’s key ASR facilities. Whether you're new to MAR or refining your expertise, this workshop delivers essential insight and tools for developing successful, sustainable ASR projects.
