LinkedInLevees and groundwater supply: the connection
UC Davis hydrogeologist and CCWAS IGERT PI Graham Fogg appeared on Capital Public Radio's Insight program to discuss levee setback, floodplains, and groundwater recharge on the Cosumnes River. According to Fogg, groundwater has the potential to store at least as much water as California's four largest reservoirs combined. Moving levees back to increase floodplain extent can recharge groundwater stores, which will increase future water supplies while providing environmental benefits.
