The study advocates for enhanced managed aquifer recharge (MAR) infrastructure in California to effectively handle rapid water inputs and mitigate water-loss scenarios during climate extremes.
Bruk Berhanu emphasizes that urbanization and impervious surfaces disrupt natural groundwater recharge, contributing to aquifer depletion and amplifying the need for improved water management practices.
Historically, water withdrawals and aquifer injections in California went unmonitored until 2014, highlighting a critical gap in data that hampers effective water resource management.
California leads the nation in monitoring water practices due to its unique water availability challenges; however, regulations vary significantly, complicating uniform resource management.
