Aquifer recharge and recovery projects are essential for long-term water resource management, allowing agencies and utilities to capture excess water during wet periods and make it available during droughts or peak demand. ModuTank’s aquifer recharge and recovery tanks provide reliable, above-ground storage to support managed aquifer recharge (MAR), aquifer storage and recovery (ASR), and groundwater banking initiatives. These tanks are constructed from modular, hot-dipped galvanized steel panels and fitted with membrane liners such as potable water grade polyethylene, polypropylene, or XR-5 geomembranes, ensuring secure containment while protecting water quality prior to recharge or recovery.
Aquifer Recharge & Recovery Projects Tanks
Many recharge projects require intermediate storage to regulate flow rates, manage treatment processes, or stage water before infiltration or injection. ModuTank systems are well suited for storing surface water, treated drinking water, reclaimed water, or stormwater prior to recharge. Tanks can be installed near recharge wells, spreading basins, or treatment facilities and configured in square, rectangular, or custom footprints to fit site constraints. This controlled storage helps operators manage recharge timing, balance system hydraulics, and improve overall project efficiency.
Aquifer recharge programs are often implemented in phases or begin as pilot projects to evaluate performance and regulatory requirements. ModuTank’s bolt-together construction allows tanks to be installed quickly using simple tools, making them ideal for temporary or evolving applications. Tanks can be deployed seasonally, expanded as programs grow, or relocated to new sites without extensive construction or site preparation. This adaptability offers a practical alternative to permanent concrete structures, especially where project scope or long-term needs are still developing.
As groundwater management strategies evolve, ModuTank’s aquifer recharge and recovery tanks provide scalable infrastructure with capacities ranging from thousands to millions of gallons. Systems can be expanded or reconfigured to support increased recharge volumes or additional recovery capacity, all while maintaining leak-free containment and long service life. With proven durability in diverse climates and water management applications, ModuTank’s tanks deliver dependable, flexible solutions that support sustainable groundwater replenishment and long-term water security.
