CONJUNCTIVE USE IS AN EFFECTIVE WATER MANAGEMENT TOOL
Conjunctive use – the coordinated man-agement of surface water and groundwater resources – is critical to water supply reliability in the future.
Conjunctive use means relying more on our groundwater storage basins in California.
Benefits of conjunctive use include reduced overdraft, subsidence, and saline intrusion into the State’s groundwater basins, and, improved water quality and environmental benefi ts in the form of increasedstream fl ows and improved habitats.
