[3] [4] As a result, investment into groundwater recharge basins has been steadily increasing in recent years. Groundwater projects are planned to provide an increase of 500,000 acre-feet annually to the water supply. [5] With 2023 being an extreme wet year, California achieved a record-setting 8.7 million acre-feet of groundwater to aquifers. [6]
The SGMA determined 43 high-priority groundwater basins and 84 medium-priority groundwater basins, totaling 127 basins accounting for 96% of California's groundwater. These basins must adopt GSPs by 2020 or 2022 (depending on the basin) and have until 2040 or 2042 to attain sustainability.
The state saw 4.1 million acre-feet of managed groundwater recharge in the water year ending in September, and an 8.7 million acre-feet increase in groundwater storage, California’s Department ...
Groundwater recharge is a process that moves water from the surface into an underlying aquifer and is a critical tool to hedge against future droughts and help improve groundwater levels. [8] In addition to implementing district-wide recharge projects, Westlands offers three groundwater recharge programs to help landowners recharge on their ...
This groundwater boost was driven in part by deliberate efforts to recharge the state’s vast underground reservoirs, which accounts for about 40% of California’s total water supply and is ...
California has approved a plan to use more than 600,000 acre-feet of floodwaters to replenish groundwater and supply wildlife refuges in the Central Valley. California has approved a plan to use ...
Groundwater recharge is the process of allowing excess surface water to swap into underground aquifers. Groundwater recharge is vital to mitigating subsidence and minimizes the consequential damage. The amount of recharge that occurs in the San Joaquin Valley is very dependent on the amount of rain received in winter and spring months and ...
California’s San Joaquin Valley may be sinking nearly an inch per year due to the over-pumping of groundwater supplies, with resource extraction outpacing natural recharge, a new study has found.
