Climate change, drought and heavier pumping are altering groundwater quality as scientists explore new ways to recharge depleted aquifers.
Tag: managed aquifer recharge
A new study says storing water underground can buffer drought, but an aquifer's ability to hold water decides how much comes back out.
Report: Winter crops could save San Joaquin farms from drying up
New research shows bare farm fields waste more water than low-water winter crops — and a smarter approach could keep San Joaquin Valley farms alive.
New research reveals groundwater recharge’s promise and problems
New research on managed aquifer recharge highlights its benefits, physical and economic constraints, legal obstacles, and emerging equity concerns. It also outlines policy options that could help...
The 2025 Managed Aquifer Recharge Conference, hosted by NGWA in Denver, will explore groundwater storage, quality, and drought resilience strategies.
