The Water Forward Integrated Water Resource Plan is Austin’s 100-year roadmap for a sustainable water future. The plan was developed using a holistic planning approach that balances multiple objectives including water reliability, social, environmental, and economic benefits. The Austin City Council adoption of the Water Forward Plan in November 2018 was the culmination of extensive work with the Austin community, a citizen Task Force, across multiple City departments, Boards and Commissions, and regional entities. The Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) project, as currently envisioned, will store treated drinking water from Austin’s surface water treatment plants. ASR is a storage water supply strategy that is similar in concept to a savings account, where money can be saved and withdrawn when needed. In an ASR project, water is saved underground when available during wet times, and withdrawn for use during drought or emergency situations when other supplies are needed. Since the water in an ASR is stored underground in a naturally occurring aquifer, there are no losses due to evaporation. Storage strategies like ASR will help stretch Austin’s existing surface water supplies through a locally controlled source of water, thereby improving our community’s resiliency in droughts and other emergency situations such as floods and water quality upsets.
