From the State Water Resources Control Board:
As part of the State Water Boards’ efforts to better understand groundwater recharge in California, the Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) program has released a website entitled Effects of Recharge on Groundwater Quality and has developed the Aquifer Recharge and Groundwater Quality (ARGQ) Dashboard.
The website can be accessed from the GAMA homepage under Projects or via this link GAMA – Effects of Recharge on Groundwater Quality | California State Water Resources Control Board. The website has several sections related to recharge such as the Data Visualization Dashboard, Groundwater Quality Case Studies, and Related Recharge Projects. This website will continue to be updated as projects progress.
The ARGQ Dashboard is a tool developed to assist individuals and agencies with the visualization of potential correlations between water quality and groundwater recharge events, such as the heavy precipitation from atmospheric river events that impacted California during the winter of 2022-2023. The primary purpose of this tool is to allow users to view charts of water quality results from wells alongside historic precipitation and groundwater elevation data, as well as view other data layers relevant to groundwater recharge.
The ARGQ Dashboard is an embedded application available on our website, but can also be accessed as a separate, full-screen application at the following link: Aquifer Recharge and Groundwater Quality – Dashboard (Advanced)
