In this issue of IMPACT, a new tool for collecting groundwater data is investigated to see if its benefits can be realized in California
The Department of Water Resources is conducting airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveys in?California¡¯s groundwater basins to assist local water managers as they implement the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) to manage groundwater for long-term sustainability.?
The process has been compared to taking an MRI of the ground¡¯s subsurface. Read on to learn from Lisa Beutler and the team working on this innovative project.
