SHARED VISION THROUGH INCLUSIVE, MULTI-BENEFIT REGIONAL PLANNING
Engage with Regional Partners to Inform High Quality Planning and 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.
