Researchers develop aquifer storage technique for stable water storage

Researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology have developed an improved aquifer storage technique to address water supply challenges caused by climate change. The 13-month experiment used real river water in a simulated aquifer system, demonstrating stable water quality without chemical treatment. Microorganisms in the system naturally reduced organic matter, preventing pore clogging. This technology could help balance water supply in areas experiencing extreme floods and droughts, with potential for global application.
