CDWR —
California is taking a new, data-driven approach to capturing floodwaters for groundwater recharge. The Department of Water Resources (DWR), in coordination with GEI Consultants, has released the Central Valley Flood-MAR Dashboard for public testing, allowing water managers across the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys the opportunity to explore the tool and offer feedback.
Dashboard Overview
In response to Governor Newsom’s California Water Supply Strategy: Adapting to a Hotter, Drier Future, DWR is providing regulatory and technical assistance to groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) and other local public agencies to increase the pace and scale of groundwater recharge and support long-term groundwater management for sustainability and resilience.
