PR ESENTATION:
Land subsidence caused by groundwater pumping has been a problem for decades in the San Joaquin Valley, but an increased reliance on aquifers during the last decade has resulted in subsidence ra tes in excess of a foot per year in some parts of the region.
In a report released in February 2017, NASA satellite-based and aircraft-based radar mapping prepared for the Department of Water Resources shows how thi s subsidence is putting state and federal aqueducts and flood control stru ctures at risk of damage. Over time, long-term subsidence has destroyed th ousands of public and private groundwater well casings in the San Joaquin Valley.
This special free briefing sponsored by the Califor nia Department of Water Resources and the Water Education Foundation \ ;will highlight the array of technologies available for subsidenc e measurement and monitoring, including information and technical support being provided by DWR. Going forward, groundwater sustainability agencies must address managing subsidence in their management plans pursuant to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. The briefing will be held at the Alice Peters Auditorium (PB 191) in the University Business Center at Fres no State.
This event is for anyone interested in understanding land subsidence in the San Joaquin Valley, including local water district manag ers and board members, elected officials, city and county government offic ials, farmers, state and federal agency officials, environmentalists, atto rneys, consultants, engineers, business executives, legislative aides, mem bers of the media and the general public.
