Document Description
The Ag Aquifer Storage & Recovery (ASR) Project will involve the installation of less than 100 linear feet of piping to convey surface water from the Los Molinos Mutual Water District canal system (surface water source) to the two adjacent Ag ASR wells (see attached map) allowing direct recharge of surface water into the aquifer system. The Project will use existing surface water rights for on-going groundwater recharge to achieve sustainable groundwater use. The project will involve the installation of a pipeline connecting the canal diversion point to the two (2) existing groundwater wells to be recharged. This action covers the construction-related project activities related to Los Molinos GSP implementation activities to achieve long term groundwater sustainability in the Subbasin.
