Trade-offs in Stormwater Recharge

Short Description: 
In Watershed Resources, a new project looks at the potential trade-offs in recharging our groundwater with stormwater runoff.

During Tucson's dramatic monsoons our streets are scoured by stormwater. The water drains down storm sewers, gullies and washes, and eventually to areas that could be used for recharge. Should the city actively recharge our depleted groundwater with storm runoff? Through the project ‘Tradeoffs of Enhanced Urban Runoff-Recharge and Water Quality', SNR Assistant Professor Kathleen Lohse is finding out if pollutants, metals, pathogens and nutrients in storm runoff present a challenge to stormwater recharge.
