1. Old River Channel Recharge Is the District's Top Infrastructure Priority The board directed staff to pursue evaluations and planning for the Old River channel to increase groundwater recharge capacity. This includes having Streamline evaluate existing gates, requesting PMP Engineering pull prior studies on channel improvements, and discussing potential additional inflow points, including ideas raised involving Consolidated Irrigation District. A local grower reported sinking over 8,000 acre-feet through a single 30-inch gate over six months, underscoring the channel's massive recharge potential. The board approved a motion to move forward on these evaluations.
