Although seawater desalination has been common practice in some parts of the world for a number of years, it has historically been considered infeasible in the United States. However, the need to develop seawater desalination is upon us.
There are several ways that cost savings from well rehabilitation can be calculated. One method is to calculate the cost savings associated with reduced power requirements corresponding to a decreased water level drawdown within the well for a given pumping rate. Another method of determining the economics of the well rehabilitation is to calculate the benefit of the increase in available water supply from the well.
