Alternative Recharge Proposal Being Developed for District Consideration A group of local landowners, including operations near the bypass canal, announced plans to come back next month with a more detailed proposal for groundwater recharge. The proposal would involve bringing water directly from the bypass canal during high-flow periods, with the group noting they previously captured 9,000 acre-feet in a short timeframe using temporary pumps. They plan to demonstrate how farm-based recharge could be more cost-effective than permanent recharge basins, and may ask the district to reconsider or adjust its current Sigma-related plan for about 1,000 acres of reservoir area.
