Prior to the release of the Draft ASR Science Plan Version 2, the District held a technical workshop with an independent peer review scientific panel for the ASR program. The workshop included the progress of ASR well studies conducted for the Lake Okeechobee Watershed Restoration Project (LOWRP), a component of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP).
Additionally, the workshop discussed scientific investigations related to ASR wells including water quality treatment, hydro-geological, geochemical, and ecological studies, and other related scientific studies and modeling conducted by the District and the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center.
