Groundwater Recharge practices in production vineyards and SGMA implementation

This workshop focused on how groundwater can be ‘recharged’ to help better manage and sustain local aquifers. Presentations include: Recharge: What is it? What is it not? Different types of recharge, snd recharge in the context of SGMA; California’s Flood-MAR (Managed Aquifer Recharge) project: What is it? Where is it happening? How does it work?; and Local recharge efforts: What farmers are doing in Sonoma County to enhance recharge.

Local water managers are considering water markets as a potential approach for achieving sustainability targets. However, water is a non-traditional resource, and water markets need to be designed with an eye toward protecting communities and the environment. Join us for a discussion on groundwater markets and market design. Presented by UCANR.

This webinar discusses the potential role for Managed Aquifer Recharge as a cost-effective solution for SGMA targets, and key take-aways from the economics literature. From UCANR.
