Implementation
The Dry Creek Rancheria of Pomo Indians, in partnership with local landowners and partners, will undertake the Alexander Valley FloodMAR Initiative Project to create sustainable water resources with benefits to local fisheries, agriculture, and communities. Primary goal is to replenish local groundwater system by annually diverting 5000 acre-feet of high winter flows from the Russian River through a network of underflow wells and applying those waters to agricultural land when the commercial crops are dormant, replenishing both shallow and deeper aquifer systems. Grant funding is needed to fully implement this project, including state funding, to address drought mitigation.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
This Project will undertake several tasks: 1) Design the regional conveyance infrastructure for RR winter flow diversion, distribution and application; 2) acquire winter water rights; 3) create a land and water resource management agency to formalize the collaboration structure and provide a mechanism for local resources management; 4) develop a governance strategy including subdividing the Project Area into eight "On Farm Recharge (OFR) Districts" to provide redundancy and reduce costs; 5) utilize/develop conveyance and farming components on/within OFR Districts; 6) create a monitoring program to validate beneficial uses and water resources; 7) implement the Project, including data collection and analyses to refine subsequent operations; 8) provide data to partnering agencies and organizations to leverage the water data collected in this Project in support of better fisheries management along the RR and to inform regional SGMA planning as related to future actions.
