The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) prepared this white paper to explore opportunities to use flood water for managed aquifer recharge (Flood-MAR) because DWR recognizes the need to rehabilitate and modernize water and flood infrastructure in California.
This document represents a first step towards management guidance for on-farm recharge planners and practitioners to maximize benefits to water quality and to manage risks under AgMAR. This document is also intended to be used as a resource for communities so they can more fully participate in the GSA decision-making process.
Este documento representa un primer paso hacia la guía de manejo para los administradores y profesionales de la recarga a nivel parcela para maximizar los beneficios para la calidad del agua y manejar los riesgos bajo Ag-MAR. Este documento también está destinado a ser utilizado como un recurso para que las comunidades puedan participar más plenamente en el proceso de toma de decisiones de la GSA.
