Get Involved in the Flood-MAR Network

Action Teams

Action Teams are collaborations of volunteer Flood-MAR Network members who seek to identify and advance a particular product, project, or initiative over the next one to two years. The six Action Teams emerged from discussions during the March 2023 quarterly Flood-MAR Network workshop, demonstrating a desire to leverage the collective resources of the Network, turn ideas into tangible outputs to benefit the Flood-MAR community, and ultimately advance Flood-MAR statewide.

The Action Teams are:

• Estimating Recharge – seeks to identify best approaches for the practical estimation of aquifer recharge. 
• Incentives for Flood-MAR – expands information-sharing regarding existing and previous incentives programs and generates ideas for new incentives or strategies. 
• Water Quality Monitoring – identifies considerations for managing or mitigating contaminants under flooded conditions, and compiles data to support agencies in developing best practices, guidance, and models for Flood-MAR. 
• Instream Flows - considers how to balance water used for recharge and instream ecological needs during Flood-MAR project operations. 
• Assessing Policy – explores ways to further leverage opportunities and/or address barriers to effective State support and coordination. 
• Website – manages content and maintains updates to the floodmar.org website. The Flood-MAR website was formally released to the public October 10th, 2023 (read the Flood-MAR HUB press release here).

We invite you learn more and consider joining an upcoming meeting if your work (or your curiosity) intersects with the goals of an Action Team. Our work is improved when our expertise and experience are shared!
