ABSTRACT
Seasonal aquifer storage and recovery of heat with ground water has been tried experimentally as a recyclable heat source for a snow melting system in order to reduce the greenhouse gas load on the global environment. It is confirmed that some of the heat recharged into aquifer in summer can be satisfactorily recovered in the next winter. Results of these experiments are described together with a typical snow melting system with groundwater, which is popular in snowy area of Japan.
