1994 - Agriculture, Water And California's Drought Of 1987-92, Kenneth W. Umbach.Pdf
Miscellaneous Documents and Reports
The purpose of this paper was to summarize the 1987-1992 drought in the context of agriculture and water in California, to examine the types of response that farmers and institutions could and did use, and to draw lessons from that experience. California would be challenged as it grappled with population growth and environmental concerns. In view of the demand on water supplies made by California's agricultural sector (77 to 80 percent of the "developed" water used in the state, it was especially important to review those responses.
2003 - Geohydrologic Framework Of Recharge And Seawater Intrusion In The Pajaro Valley, Santa Cruz And Monterey Counties, California
Miscellaneous Monterey and San Luis Obispo County Documents and Reports
The Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PVWMA) must deal with issues of both water supply and water quality. Managing water resources for agricultural and municipal users requires maintaining a reliable water supply to meet growing demands while preventing ground-water overdraft and the related degradation of water quality. Important regional water-quality concerns include increased nitrate concentrations and seawater intrusion. To protect the quantity and quality of the ground-water supplies, the PVWMA has implemented a plan to prevent further seawater intrusion. In order to evaluate how these activities can be conducted most effectively, it is necessary to improve the understanding of the …

2013 - Discussion Draft - Groundwater Workplan Concept Paper
2013 - Discussion Draft - Groundwater Workplan Concept Paper
Miscellaneous Documents and Reports
California work plan that aligns groundwater protection efforts, the ongoing actions of other entities with groundwater management responsibilities, and potential actions that the Water Boards. Effective groundwater management is necessary to ensure groundwater quality and quantity is maintained at sustainable levels that support beneficial uses of water over the long-term.
2014 - Public Update For Drought Response, Groundwater Basins, With Potential Water Shortages And Gaps In Monitoring
Miscellaneous Documents and Reports
A groundwater report as required by Governor's January 17, 2014 Emergency Drought Proclamation (Order Action Number 11) requiring that DWR describe basins with potential water shortages and gaps in groundwater monitoring. Preparing the report entailed compiling and evaluating all available data, including information presented in California Water Plan Update 2013.
Data was compiled and analyzed from the California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring (CAS GEM) Program, the Water Data Library (WDL) groundwater level database, the draft Bulletin 160 California Water Plan Update 2013, and from well completion reports (driller'S logs) submitted to DWR. The focus of this update was to analyze …
2007 - El Toro Groundwater Study Monterey County, California
2007 - El Toro Groundwater Study Monterey County, California
Monterey County Water Resources Agency Engineering Reports
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate groundwater resource capacity of the El Toro Planning Area and recommend maintaining or revising the B-8 zoning overlay. Additional objectives and tasks completed for this study were consistent with recommendations of the1996 Fugro report and included compiling water well and hydrostratigraphic information for the El Toro Planning Area; conducting aquifer testing; collecting and analyzing water samples from wells; developing a conceptual hydrogeologic model of the El Toro Planning Area; and evaluating hydrogeologic connectivity between existing subareas.
2001 - Hydrogeologic Investigation Of Salinas Valley Basin In The Vicinity Of Fort Ord And Marina Salinas Valley, California - Final Report
Monterey County Water Resources Agency Engineering Reports
This report evaluated the then current state or potential for seawater intrusion in the city of Marina and the former Fort Order area. Groundwater from this area primarily supplied drinking water wells as opposed to agricultural wells. Aquifers evaluated in this study area include the perched zone or A-aquifer, the Pressure 180-Foot Aquifer (180-Foot Aquifer), the Pressure 400-Foot Aquifer ( 400-Foot Aquifer), the Deep Aquifer, and aquifers within the Purisima and Santa Margarita Formations. The I80-Foot and 400-Foot Aquifers are the focus of this study because both aquifers outcrop along the canyon walls of Monterey Bay where they interface with …
2015 - Preliminary Engineering Design Report For Control Of Non-Winter Drainage At Carr Lake
2015 - Preliminary Engineering Design Report For Control Of Non-Winter Drainage At Carr Lake
Monterey County Water Resources Agency Engineering Reports
Landowners at Carr Lake reported increasing issues with proper drainage of the agricultural fields that made up the vast majority of the former lake bed. The primary driver of the study was the recognition that a more complete understanding of the site topography and hydrology is necessary, both to frame the pertinent issues and to identify any measures that may be appropriate to enhance drainage in the ditch system. Therefore the project work plan included two main fieldwork components, topographic survey and hydrologic monitoring. The fieldwork was followed up by data post processing, mapping, and associated supporting analyses.
Work was …
2002 - North Monterey County Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan
2002 - North Monterey County Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan
Monterey County Water Resources Agency Water Reports
North Monterey County experiences severe water supply and quality problems including falling water levels, seawater intrusion, and nitrate contamination. The region is in a significant state of overdraft where current demands greatly exceed the annual level of recharge. Without increased supplies, dramatic changes need to occur to the North County land use pattern to reduce demand. The Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan combines water conservation, water supply, water quality, and land use actions into comprehensive policy alternatives. It is clear, however, that capital facilities are necessary if the problem is to be solved.
The study area overlies a portion of …
1994 - Hydrogeologic Investigation, Arroyo Seco Cone
1994 - Hydrogeologic Investigation, Arroyo Seco Cone
Monterey County Water Resources Agency Engineering Reports
This report presents the findings, analysis, conclusions, and recommendations developed
as part of an investigation to characterize the hydrogeology of the Arroyo Seco Cone area of the
Salinas Valley. The purpose of this investigation is to assess the feasibility of developing a seasonal surface water spreading operation utilizing water diverted from the Arroyo Seco in order to enhance ground water recharge in the area. The goal of a project to store water in the ground for subsequent pumping and use is to increase the yield of the Salinas Basin. This investigation defines the hydrogeologic characteristics of the Arroyo Seco Cone …
