Enhancing the Use of Flood Water for Managed Aquifer Recharge to Support Sustainable Water Resources
Session ID#: 74613
Session Description:
Recurring and increasingly extreme cycles of drought and flood, in combination with increasing groundwater overdraft, fragmented water management, and loss of snowpack, are challenging water security worldwide. This raises new questions about whether fast moving flood flows can be effectively diverted and recharged at rates needed to increase watershed storage and reduce groundwater overdraft.
Flood water for managed aquifer recharge can be implemented at multiple scales, from individual landowners diverting flood water with existing infrastructure, to agencies and municipalities collecting hillslope runoff, to diversion of major river flood flows to extensive detention/recharge areas. This approach requires open dialogue, strong leadership, robust partnerships, funding, and innovative research to overcome technical, governance, policy, legal, and implementation challenges and barriers.
The session will provide a venue for researchers to gain insight of the state of the art research supporting sustainable water resources in global environmental change studies to promote science impact.
