For those who missed the recent “Diversions for Groundwater Recharge” virtual public workshop hosted by the State Water Resources Control Board’s (SWRCB’s) Recharge Permitting team, a recording of the 45-minute presentation is available online.
For parties interested in acquiring a groundwater recharge permit, the workshop focuses on steps applicants can take to submit a successful permit application. For parties interested in the non-permit pathway, the workshop includes an overview of Water Code section 1242.1 (flood recharge diversions), including recent changes based on Executive Order N-16-25.
Other informative workshops and meetings are also available on CA SWRCB – Web Support.
