**In an environment of severe water scarcity, the Omani Public Water Authority (PAEW) is facing a significant increase of water consumption, year after year.**

The PAEW recognises that there is a real need to ensure the reliability of its water supply system through increased storage capacity and providing additional supply sources during the peak season and in emergency situations. As a result, PAEW has launched a study to assess the value and feasibility of developing artificial groundwater storage and recovery (ASR) facilities in the country.

###  Our solution

  

Seureca conducted a hydraulic study including a water demand assessment to determine the supply options from aquifers and their capacity to meet nationwide demands.   
Seureca's expertise focused on:

- Evaluation of ASR as strategic drinking water resource to be used during emergency cases;
- Evaluation of ASR as seasonal storage application, to balance peak & low water supply & demand;
- Assessment of the options to connect ASR to existing & planned water infrastructure;
- Investigation for the feasibility of a central ASR vs regional ASRs;
- Evaluation of interconnections of ASR schemes to existing and under construction water transmission systems;
- Comparison for the use of existing infrastructure vs new infrastructure for ASR implementations: desalination plants, well fields, dams;
- Cost Estimation for the implementation of 3 different ASR options.
