ICYMI: Check out PPIC's incredibly comprehensive groundwater recharge survey in the San Joaquin Valley. While 2023 was a banner year for expanding groundwater recharge efforts, there's still a lot of work to do to fully realize the potential of the practice

Join us tomorrow at NOON Eastern / 9 AM Pacific. This webinar is titled "Planning and Execution of the Los Angeles Groundwater Replenishment Project.” FREE to all AAEES Members. $40 fee for non-members. https://lnkd.in/g2Db4Mzd Webinar Summary The Los Angeles Groundwater Replenishment Project (Project) is the first major step towards achieving 100% reuse of available wastewater within the City of Los Angeles (City). The Project has been in development for over a decade through research of treatment technologies, pilot studies, planning reports, groundwater modeling, and coordination with an independent advisory panel. In February of 2023, the City executed a design-build contract to begin design of an advanced water purification facility (AWPF) located at the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant (DCTWRP) where purified recycled water will be produced for infiltration into the San Fernando groundwater basin. In order to maximize AWPF production and the benefit of the project, the City is working both upstream and downstream of the AWPF. Upstream of the AWPF, the City is studying flow maximization and increase options. Downstream of the AWPF, the City is developing a strategy to maximize infiltration into the San Fernando groundwater basin, balancing the challenges of introducing a new source of water for the City in a basin that is simultaneously undergoing remediation efforts. Once the Project is complete, enough water for up to 250,000 residents will be produced at a cost-effective rate competitive with imported water throughout the lifetime of the Project. #waterreclamationplant #groundwater #citywater #environmentalengineer #environmentalscience Los Angeles Department of Water and Power

Coordination is the name of the SGMA game. Did you know SGMA says we have to achieve sustainability as a subbasin, rather than as just individual agencies? That's why we have invested so much effort in coordinating with the six other Kings Subbasin GSAs. Lately, we have been focused Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSP) revisions to submit a 2025 GSP update to California Department of Water Resources. Our goal is to address corrective actions from DWR in this next update so we maintain our approval status, allowing us to continue managing groundwater locally. Learn more about our coordinated efforts and what’s to come at https://lnkd.in/giAht7YP #SGMA #CAwater #groundwater #sustainability

The Phoenix metropolitan area hides a valuable source of water underground – a large and ancient aquifer. As is true for many arid areas around the world, this groundwater provides tremendous benefits, including stability in times when surface water supplies are reduced. While generally well managed under Arizona’s 1980 Groundwater Management Act, decades on, the aquifer is facing new challenges, including a mismatch between where water is withdrawn and where it is recharged. The ASU Kyl Center for Water Policy at Morrison Institute and one of the pillars of the Arizona Water Innovation Initiative have released a report examining groundwater sustainability in the greater Phoenix area offering recommendations on how to address these challenges. https://lnkd.in/emBAskmx #groundwater #PhoenixAMA Sarah Porter Kathryn Sorensen Morrison Institute for Public Policy #AWII

I bring people together to strategize, create and celebrate for the benefit of all beings everywhere.
Groundwater, one of our most precious resources, is rapidly dwindling around the world, but there are examples of communities acting to successfully recharging underground aquifers. We need more of this. Much, much more... "The Bangkok basin in Thailand is another example the study highlighted where groundwater levels rose in the early 21st century compared to previous decades. The authors cited groundwater pumping fees and licenses established by the Thai government as possible reasons for the improvement. And outside Tucson, Arizona, they pointed to a groundwater recharge project — in which surface water from the Colorado River is banked underground — as another example where groundwater levels have risen considerably in the 21st century."

SB1221 regarding Basin Management Areas will make the water shortage problem in rural Arizona even worse. SB1221 basin management areas; appropriation (Kerr: Griffin) establishes a process for creating basin management areas via a petition with signatures from 15 percent of the registered voters that live in the basin and receive their drinking water from the basin. These can only be established if land subsidence is endangering property or affecting water storage, and there is an accelerated decline in groundwater levels. This would be too difficult to pass until it is too late. Why wait until the situation is critical? If you haven't already, please sign onto the Request to Speak and oppose SB1221. If you already weighed in on RTS, consider contacting the members of the Senate Natural Resources. Energy, Water Committee before the bill goes for a vote in the committee at 9:00 AM and urge them to vote NO on SB1221 to protect rural groundwater. If the committee member is the representative of your district, please, mention that you are their constituent and from (city).

AgMonitor is at the International Ground Water Conference in San Francisco. It was great to connect with other experts at the SFO Hyatt hotel yesterday to go over groundwater preservation strategies around the world: Australia, Denmark, Spain, Tunisia, etc. The International Ground Water Conference (IGWC) provided an opportunity to catch up and see where things are during the different sessions. There is a lot going on in California with the implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Act (#SGMA). AgMonitor is the only platform that supports the four water measurement methods accepted by the State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB) for SGMA. Most basins have a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) approved by the Department of Water Resources. Some do not and maybe in “probation” soon, as currently is the Tulare basin, if they don’t address long-term issues and some methodology aspects. The white area near Kerman called McMullin GSA (MAGSA) had its GSP approved and built an organization and staff after a successful “prop 218” vote. Matt Hurley from MAGSA shared the success story of the groundwater recharge project that will scale in the future across the basin. Matt noted that the underground storage capacity there is 1,200,000 Ac-Ft. Thanks to Michael Roots form the Almond Board of California, Rinaudo Jean-Daniel from BRGM France, Matt Hurley from MAGSA, and Maurice Hall from OpenET to stop by at the AgMonitor demonstration table, and also Pumpsight’s, during the break. #AgMonitor and #Pumpsight work closely to gather all the crop water demand information, pump extraction volumes, recharge amounts during wet years such as 2023, and the long-term impact on the groundwater table. We also got a visit from Ian James from LA Times who is covering the water sector. We went over the results of the on-farm groundwater recharge project at Terranova Ranch in 2023. Don Cameron put back 18,700 Ac-Ft of flood water from April to June 2023 back to the aquifer. His pioneering efforts with help of the pump rental program from DWR erased the impact of three years of drought between 2020 and 2022 (20-feet drop). The water table is now back to winter 2019/2020 level, and visitors could see the live data on the AgMonitor dashboard. You can check the details of the project at Terranova Ranch with the link below. The talk was at the #OpenET summit last February. https://lnkd.in/gvdrXNqX #Water #PrecisionFarming #FarmLife
