1 ABSTRACT & POWERPOINT PRESENTATION Measuring the Distribution of Percolation Rate in an Artificial Recharge Basin Using Fiber Optic Distributed Temperature Sensing Matthew W. Becker, Ph.D. Professor of Geology and Conrey Chair in Hydrogeology California State University, Long Beach Long Beach, California Managed Aquifer Recharge Symposium January 25-26, 2011 Irvine, California Symposium Organizers: National Water Research Institute Orange County Water District Water Research Foundation
2 Measuring the Distribution of Percolation Rate in an Artificial Recharge Basin using Fiber Optic Distributed Temperature Sensing Matthew W. Becker, Brian Bauer, Department of Geological Sciences, California State University Long Beach, Long Beach, California 90840, It is well known that recharge (spreading) basins do not percolate water homogeneously in space or time. Variation in surficial geology can cause relative dead zones in the basin that do not contribute significantly to recharge. Over time, permeability of the basin will decrease due to siltation and biofouling. Understanding the distribution and rate of percolation can reduce costs of operation by focusing workover efforts where percolation rates are potentially high and by shutting in regions that are not contributing to recharge. We describe the development of fiber optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) as a monitoring technique for percolation rates in recharge basins. The DTS system operates by sending a laser signal along a standard fiber optic cable. Light backscatter is proportional to temperature, allowing temperature to be measured every meter along a cable at resolutions of up to 0.02 degrees centigrade. Distances of up to 5 km can be measured along cables using commercially available sensing units. In the pilot project, a 150 meter section of a basin was monitored using a cable layered at three depths (surface, 0.3 m depth, 1 m depth). Cables at depth were trenched in and buried using a backhoe and grader. The diurnal temperature fluctuations in the surface water were monitored as they propagated downward through basin sediments with the percolating water. The percolation rate could be easily measured by fitting standard heat transport equations to the time series temperature measurements. In addition, the variation in percolation rate along the cable could be determined by examining the phase lag between the temperature oscillation in the surface water and the temperature oscillation at depth. The pilot project demonstrated that percolation rate should be accurately measured in well mixed basins using a single strand of buried cable with simultaneous measurement of surface water temperatures using an inexpensive temperature datalogger. Thus, percolation rates should be measurable along up to 5 km of cable at a capital cost of approximately $1/m of cable at each installation, in addition to the costs of the sensing unit and labor.

4 Heat as Tracer The heat energy of water can be used to trace recharge flow paths through space and time Not as persistent as chemical/isotope tracers, but easier to measure
5 Orange County Example Orange County, California used temperature data to track flow from spreading basins vertically and horizontally.
