The San Joaquin Valley is California's top agricultural producing region. Groundwater in this area is over-drafted and groundwater levels are declining. This project, implemented by TCCC and Sustainable Conservation, makes beneficial use of floodwaters for groundwater recharge through the development of a groundwater recharge basin on a 52-acre site in the Laguna Irrigation District (Tulare Lake Watershed) in Fresno County, California, U.S.A. The project site is one of eleven sites owned, developed and managed by the Laguna Irrigation District for groundwater recharge. The recharge basin is designed to capture Kings River floodwater for groundwater recharge, resulting in an increased supply of groundwater that can be pumped by public and private wells and used during droughts. This project will also improve local groundwater quality by recharging and diluting degraded groundwater with high-quality Kings River water that originates in the Sierra Nevada Mountains as snow. In addition, the project will reduce downstream flood damage to communities along the Kings River corridor through floodwater diversion. This project includes improvements to the conveyance capacity of Liberty Canal to increase the quantity of water that can be delivered to the site, as well as a turnout and check structure on Liberty Canal, flowmeters, a basin with exterior levees, a settling channel, an outlet to Murphy Slough, and monitoring wells.
