Recharged: Improving Freshwater Supply and Quality

University of Santa Cruz hydrogeologist Andrew Fisher leads a team
of researchers looking for better ways to capture runoff and use it
to not only increase groundwater quantity, but also quality. They
are using the Pajaro Valley on the central California coast, a
productive and valuable agriculture area, as their practical
laboratory, working with farmers and water managers to recharge
groundwater. Recharge net metering is a novel practice of crediting
groundwater. Series: "UCTV Prime" [Science] [Show ID: 33843]
