Central Valley Hydrologic Model version 2 (CVHM2): Water Banking for water years 1961-2019 (ver. 2.0, Aug 2023)

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

Managed aquifer recharge is a water-management strategy used to meet water demands during dry periods, or periods of high-water demand, when surface-water supplies are low. One method of managed aquifer recharge uses aquifer systems as subsurface reservoirs or ‘water banks’ to effectively and economically store surface water when surplus is available, and then recover the recharged groundwater to meet water demands during droughts. During these water shortages, increased groundwater pumpage can be used to offset shortfalls in surface-water supplies. Thus, surface-water reservoirs and water banks can be used conjunctively to effectively coordinate the use of groundwater and surface water. Data were compiled for ten water banking programs in the Central Valley: City of Fresno in Fresno County; and nine in Kern County: Berrenda Mesa Property Joint Water Banking Project, City of Bakersfield (2800 Acres) Groundwater Recharge Facility, Kern Water Bank, Pioneer Banking Project (renamed the Thomas N. Clark Recharge and Banking Project in 2010); Kern River Channel, West Kern Water District Water Supply Project/Buena Vista Water Storage District, Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District Ground Water Banking Program, Poso Creek/Semitropic Groundwater Banking Program, and Arvin–Edison Water Storage District Water Management Program. This data release includes data for water years 1961 to 2019.
