NEW! How to Estimate Flood-MAR Recharge Fact Sheet (October 2025)

Developed by the Flood-MAR Network’s Estimating Recharge Action Team, this fact sheet offers practical, easy-to-use methods for estimating groundwater recharge from on-farm and flood-MAR projects. It outlines three primary approaches—the simple water budget method, flow measurement options, and direct measurement of ponded infiltration—along with real-world examples, reference links, and field guidance. Designed for landowners, Groundwater Sustainability Agencies, and practitioners, the document bridges scientific rigor and on-the-ground application to help improve recharge accounting and support sustainable groundwater management in California.
