[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 Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment Program (GAMA) is an all-inclusive monitoring program for groundwater that was implemented in 2000 in California, United States.

Groundwater recharge is an important process for sustainable groundwater management, since the volume-rate abstracted from an aquifer in the long term should be less than or equal to the volume-rate that is recharged. Recharge can help move excess salts that accumulate in the root zone to deeper soil layers, or into the groundwater system.
A decade after signing of California groundwater law, major challenges remain. Ian James. September 17, 2024 at 3:00 AM. Water flows from a well to irrigate an orchard in Visalia in 2021.
