California officials voted Tuesday to step in to monitor groundwater use in part of the crop-rich San Joaquin Valley in a first-of-its-kind move that comes a decade after local communities were ...
Faced with the deepening scars of groundwater exhaustion, lawmakers passed SGMA — a sweeping road map to get the state to the point at which we’re taking out only as much water as comes in.
California passed its landmark groundwater law in 2014. The goals of sustainable management remain a long way off. Despite California groundwater law, aquifers keep dropping in a 'race to the bottom'
The Leaky Acres Recharge Facility is a groundwater recharge facility located in Fresno, California. The facility began as a joint research project by the City of Fresno water division and the US Department of Agriculture. It first began percolating water in 1971 and was subsequently expanded and duplicated in other areas of the city.
