\"Farms<\/a>

Farms are encouraged to accept flood flows from storms to help recharge groundwater.<\/p><\/div>\n

From Sustainable Conservation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a harrowing string of dry years, California pines for wet weather. With summer in the rearview mirror, our farms, communities, and wildlife sure could use a hydrating boost this winter.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nThe Golden State\u2019s record-breaking drought has prompted widely voiced concerns about farming\u2019s use of water. At the same time, our agricultural sector helps <\/span>feed the nation<\/span><\/a>. How can California conserve and protect water while providing sustenance to millions?<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nSustainable Conservation has a plan to marry these pivotal actions. Expanding upon <\/span>our work in the Kings River Basin<\/span><\/a>, we\u2019re mobilizing San Joaquin Valley farmers to accept flood flows from pending storms onto active cropland to <\/span>help replenish groundwater<\/span><\/a> \u2013 California\u2019s underground \u201csavings account\u201d for parched seasons.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nAnd, we\u2019re thrilled to announce a remarkable new partner in our outreach: the\u00a0<\/span>Almond Board of California<\/span><\/a>. The key group \u2013 which represents nearly 7,000 almond growers and processors on approximately one million acres throughout the state \u2013 has committed to being part of California\u2019s groundwater solution with us.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nWith forecasts calling for strong El Ni\u00f1o rains, we\u2019re just in time. Throughout the arid months of summer and into the fall, Sustainable Conservation has been working diligently to line up willing farmers with the right soils to demonstrate our strategy as soon as precipitation returns.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nThe technique more closely mimics the natural floodplain process of rivers spreading seasonally across the valley and recharging over-tapped aquifers below. By allowing waterways to stream back onto agricultural lands with sandy, permeable soils and applying water at rates compatible with crop production, we can also reduce the risk of flooding to downstream communities.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cBoth the Almond Board and Sustainable Conservation believe that a healthy environment and farming sector can only be achieved through collaboration and uniting around common goals.\u201d<\/i><\/span>
\n<\/span>Ashley Boren<\/b><\/span>, Executive Director, Sustainable Conservation<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nThrough nearly 100 innovative Almond Board-funded research projects since 1994, California almond growers have incorporated irrigation practices that reduced the amount of water needed to grow each pound of almonds by 33%*.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nAs part of our partnership, a team of Almond Board-funded UC Davis researchers will monitor three of the ten demonstration plots we are selecting in the San Joaquin Valley to test on-farm recharge this winter. Findings will assist in identifying the orchard practices and recharge conditions best suited for almond tree health, and the Almond Board will map where additional orchards can be part of replenishing our subterranean stores.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nBold alliances are needed now more than ever, and we\u2019re proud to join forces with this vital industry player to build a powerful buffer against future droughts. Ever the solution match-maker, we\u2019re hoping to unite storm with soil very soon to the benefit of our Golden State\u2019s environment and people.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cAlmond growers understand and share the concerns of many Californians about agriculture\u2019s impact on state and local water resources, especially during this prolonged drought. Almond growers are part of the fabric of their local communities, often living on the land that their families have farmed for generations. Their own families, communities, and neighbors are equally impacted by groundwater concerns. These efforts focus on leveraging a significant attribute of the California Almond industry \u2013 the land dedicated to growing almonds \u2013 to continue our efforts to do our part to realize a sustainable California water supply.\u201d<\/i><\/span>
