Description
Description | The project involves using canals and dozens of oblong ponds to recharge groundwater by allowing river water to seep into the soil in the southern San Joaquin Valley, California. The district tracks groundwater levels and uses wells to pump stored water to farms during dry times. The project started in the 1960s with building levees and digging basins for imported water, helping raise groundwater levels over decades. The agency manages water extremes by banking water underground in wet years and pumping more out in dry years. It also plans to buy and retire farmland to reduce water use and comply with groundwater laws. |
