This groundwater recharge project’s headgates are seen near the bridge on a bank of the Kings River in this photograph taken via drone. The system is designed to move floodwater diverted from the river to areas of Terranova Ranch and capture excess flow for groundwater storage in Fresno County. Andrew Innerarity / DWR

NOW AVAILABLE: Groundwater Recharge Estimation factsheet

The Flood-MAR Network’s Estimating Recharge Action Team has created a Groundwater Recharge Estimation factsheet. The factsheet serves to provide landowners and groundwater sustainability agencies with some simple approaches for estimating recharge and for collecting data that will be most beneficial for improving those estimates of recharge moving forward. The factsheet presents recharge estimate options to employ and walks the reader through the recharge estimation process. The Flood-MAR Network strives to improve water availability, flood risk reduction, and groundwater recharge to sustain communities and ecosystems through Flood-MAR implementation.
