The project consists of three points of diversion (PODs) that will divert water during the winter months (12/1-3/14) to intentionally infiltrate for groundwater storage, and will support agricultural, domestic, and municipal water uses in the basin. Water will be diverted from the Pit River (POD#2) and Ash Creek (POD #2 and #3).
