DWR, in partnership with the Merced Irrigation District (MID), is conducting a preliminary study using flood waters for managed aquifer recharge that can reduce flood
Through this guide, California almond growers can begin evaluating their options for addressing local sub-basin overdraft through recharge, helping secure reliable, sufficient, and drought resilient
The State Water Board GAMA Program and the U.S. Geological Survey have created tools to help users understand groundwater quality in California. A range of
As part of DWR’s technical assistance to Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs), other water managers, and the public, DWR has developed the SGMA Data Viewer. The
This study presents an approach for using a towed time-domain electromagnetic (tTEM) imaging method to develop three-dimensional (3D) models of sediment type, map potential flow
This project assesses pesticide residue leaching in response to agricultural groundwater recharge. To evaluate the risk of pesticide residue leaching, we 1) conducted a towed
In this study the use of a helicopter deployed geophysical method to efficiently locate IVF deposits throughout the Central Valley was assesses. These deposits provide
This paper presents a workflow for combining geophysical measurements of resistivity made with the tTEM system with sediment type measurements made using a direct push
The Soil Agricultural Groundwater Banking Index (SAGBI) is a suitability index for groundwater recharge on agricultural land. The SAGBI is based on five major factors
The Department of Water Resources is conducting airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveys in California’s high- and medium-priority groundwater basins, where data collection is feasible, to assist
