Sacramento State Geology Professor Amelia Vankeuren will share findings from five years of monitoring water quality during Flood-MAR on vineyards in Sacramento County. The talk explores how flooding fields affects water chemistry and flow, including potential contamination from nutrients, pesticides, and trace metals; and tracers of groundwater source, flow path, and age. Results highlight how recharge water interacts with existing groundwater and aquifer sediments and provide insight into water

Evan Riley, the CEO and Managing Partner of White Pine Renewables will talk through how White Pine Renewables has become an industry leader in co-locating solar on ground water recharge basis, balancing ponds, and other water infrastructure. The talk will cover about technical, commercial and legal hurdles for these types of projects and how to identify what makes “good” project (aka viable) and what makes a “bad” project (aka not viable). White Pine has successfully deployed approximately 30 s
