Title: Groundwater Actions to Offset Surface Water Diversions from the Sacramento River in Response to Drought in 2021
Summary: This EA evaluates the potential environmental effects of a proposed approach by Sacramento River Settlement Contractors (SRSCs) to pump additional groundwater in order to reduce surface water diversions from the Sacramento River. By reducing reliance on surface water diversions in this drought year, Reclamation and the SRSCs intend to increase availability of surface water for beneficial purposes in the Sacramento Valley, including listed aquatic species, fish, birds, farms and cities.
