Groundwater overdraft, the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act and groundwater’s importance during a drought are all headline issues across California that will be discussed on our upcoming Groundwater Tour.

As we travel from the Sacramento region to the Napa wine country, we will discuss aquifer recharge, storage and water recycling, well drilling, groundwater use for agricultural, municipal and industrial uses and groundwater contamination in disadvantaged communities.

Our tentative itinerary includes:

• Napa County wineries and dairies
• USGS offices at Sacramento State University
• Conaway Ranch
• Folsom Lake
• Superfund clean-up site
• Wells, recharge facilities and extensometers

The tour begins and ends at Sacramento International Airport. Click here for more information and to register securely online.
