Brian Lockwood, General Manager/Hydrogeologist, Pajaro Valley Water District Management. From the California Department of Food and Ag.

This video provides an overview of how groundwater and surface water interact, what the implications of these interactions on water resources are, and how water can be more effectively managed if an understanding of these interactions is incorporated. From the American Geosciences Institute.

This workshop focused on how groundwater can be ‘recharged’ to help better manage and sustain local aquifers. Presentations include: Recharge: What is it? What is it not? Different types of recharge, snd recharge in the context of SGMA; California’s Flood-MAR (Managed Aquifer Recharge) project: What is it? Where is it happening? How does it work?; and Local recharge efforts: What farmers are doing in Sonoma County to enhance recharge.
