In response to California's Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), Earth Genome and its partner Sustainable Conservation to assist California agricultural water providers and Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) achieve essential insights to maximize groundwater recharge opportunities.

Groundwater Recharge Assessments are completed through the Groundwater Recharge Assessment Tool – GRATTM. GRAT is a cloud-based application that integrates hydrologic, agronomic, and geologic science with best-available data from local, state, and federal sources to create an indexed ranking of suitable recharge sites.

As a planning tool, GRAT enables districts and GSAs to more efficiently create, evaluate and implement Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs). GRAT helps districts avoid missed opportunities to augment their water supplies by optimizing district recharge as an operations tool.

Basin and/or Contextual Conditions: REGULATORY: Inadequate river basin management
Project Benefits: Raised awareness of challenges among water users
Indirect or Direct Beneficiaries: Agricultural growers
Months & Implementing: More than 3 years
Primary Funding Source: Pool funding (i.e., joint funding of several partners)
