This document discusses water quality results for the Brawley Wash pilot surface recharge operations performed from February 1990 through January 1991. The primary goal of the water quality program was to determine how recharged water would impact the existing groundwater quality. Specific objectives of the water quality monitoring program were:
- Document baseline water quality of the recharge source water and the ground water prior to recharge operations.
- Monitor recharge source water and groundwater for changes in quality during recharge operations.
- Investigate possible leaching of inorganic and organic compounds from the vadose zone into the groundwater.
-Assess the extent of displacement/mixing of resident groundwater with recharge water.
