Aquifer restoration device

Aquifer restoration device description/claims

This invention relates to aquifer restoration devices, more particularly, an aquifer restoration device that enables one to collect rainwater run-off from the roofs of buildings and other structures and inject the rainwater directly into the underground aquifer.

The majority of coastal communities in the United States, especially in Florida, are under strict water use restrictions, despite intermittent years of heavy rainfall. In such coastal communities, saltwater intrusion has become a problem due to the lack of fresh water in the aquifer. Thus, there exists a great need to replenish the aquifer with fresh water.

During rainfall, ninety percent (90%) of the rainwater runs off of the roofs of structures, such as residential and business structures, into drainage wells, streams, rivers and ultimately into the ocean, with very little of the rainwater entering into the aquifer. Moreover, the rainwater that does enter the aquifer is usually polluted with various chemicals and debris, such as fertilizers and pesticides commonly used on landscaping and oil and petroleum from cars on the streets.

Although there currently exists methods of adding water back into the aquifer wherein forced injection of treated water is used, such reclaimed water can only be used for non-potable purposes.

Thus, a need exists for an aquifer restoration device and method that permits a user to collect rainwater from the roofs of buildings and other structures in an environmentally-friendly, efficient manner and inject the water into the aquifer may ultimately be used for potable purposes.
