Sharing ideas and resources for successful implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act.
Managed Aquifer Recharge in California
Many states including California are using their groundwater faster than they can replace it -how can managing aquifer recharge help? This talk by Timothy Parker reviews the geoscience of managed aquifer recharge and how California is managing its groundwater storage. Presented by the American Geosciences Institute.
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.
