Groundwater Education Bundle
Special price for groundwater map and Layperson's Guide to Groundwater

The Groundwater Education Bundle features our redesigned California Groundwater Map and the 2017 version of the Layperson’s Guide to Groundwater.

Regularly priced at $22 for the map and $15 for the guide, this bundle allows you to purchase both of these high-quality products for $32. Please note they ship separately.

The 24×36 inch poster includes a map of the location of California’s groundwater as well as information on types of aquifers, diagrams of wells and explanations of key terms such as overdraft.

The 28-page Layperson’s Guide to Groundwater provides background and perspective on what groundwater is, its history of use, groundwater quality issues and was updated in 2017 to include information on the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, the state’s historic law that requires local agencies to manage and reduce overdraft.

In the Heart of the San Joaquin Valley, Two Groundwater Sustainability Agencies Try to Find Their Balance
WESTERN WATER SPECIAL REPORT: Agencies in Fresno, Tulare counties pursue different approaches to address overdraft and meet requirements of California’s groundwater law

Flooding permanent crops seasonally, such as this vineyard at Terranova Ranch in Fresno County, is one innovative strategy to recharge aquifers.Across a sprawling corner of southern Tulare County snug against the Sierra Nevada, a bounty of navel oranges, grapes, pistachios, hay and other crops sprout from the loam and clay of the San Joaquin Valley. Groundwater helps keep these orchards, vineyards and fields vibrant and supports a multibillion-dollar agricultural economy across the valley. But that bounty has come at a price. Overpumping of groundwater has depleted aquifers, dried up household wells and degraded ecosystems.

Imported Water Built Southern California; Now Santa Monica Aims To Wean Itself Off That Supply
WESTERN WATER SPOTLIGHT: Santa Monica is tapping groundwater, rainwater and tighter consumption rules to bring local supply and demand into balance

The Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling Facility (SMURRF) treats dry weather urban runoff to remove pollutants such as sediment, oil, grease, and pathogens for nonpotable use.Imported water from the Sierra Nevada and the Colorado River built Southern California. Yet as drought, climate change and environmental concerns render those supplies increasingly at risk, the Southland’s cities have ramped up their efforts to rely more on local sources and less on imported water.

Far and away the most ambitious goal has been set by the city of Santa Monica, which in 2014 embarked on a course to be virtually water independent through local sources by 2023. In the 1990s, Santa Monica was completely dependent on imported water. Now, it derives more than 70 percent of its water locally.
