#California's largest #reservoir, #Lake #Shasta, received over 13 inches of #rain in the first 11 days of 2023, but its water levels are still below what they usually are at this time of year. I visited the reservoir on 16 Sep 22 at the lowest level (30%) and 14 Jan 23 at 42%.

Congratulations Helen.. So proud to be a collaborator to work towards the groundwater sustainability in CA and other parts of the US.

Communicating Science to Legislators. It was my first experience to give a testimony on managed aquifer recharge at Oregon State #Legislature as a neutral entity for a bill regarding ASR testing. This is what we do at @OregonStateBEE

@MVisalakshan Happy to see my artwork been published. Scientific Magazine Coverage Design is a great experience. Congratulations

@WardHydro Thank you. Fingers crossed ! Hopefully we will get some water at the site after 2 years of waiting.

After 2 days drive, made it to #Fresno, #CentralValley crossing high winds and flooding. Getting the research site ready to receive #CaliforniaFloods water for #drywell #ManagedAquiferRecharge. Finding a single solution for #California’s #flooding and #groundwater depletion #MAR

[Salini Sasidharan @salinias]

@hassankhan However, large storm doesn’t mean we will have natural recharge since the top soil was very dry or compacted and infiltration capacity will be minimal. That’s why we need MAR projects that capture the floodwater and target artificial recharge through favorable subsurface region.

[Salini Sasidharan @salinias]

@hassankhan Hi Hassan, I do not have that data yet. But I hope we will get floodwater in my field and can do drywell-MAR. The recharge from storm in shallow aquifers could be visible soon. However, deeper aquifer may take more time.

[Salini Sasidharan @salinias]

@IaelRaij Thank you, We hope to receive the water into field! Fingers crossed !!

Our own John Selker taking the reigns as the #hydrology section president at #AGU22 @Hydrology_AGU @theAGU

[Salini Sasidharan @salinias]

Day 2: Another exciting day.. So much new dimensions of research on #groundwater management and #land #subsidence using a combination of #hydrology and #geophysics tools #AGU22 @theAGU

[Salini Sasidharan @salinias]

@JospinIssa1 @theAGU Hi Issa, It’s open for everyone. Thanks.

[Salini Sasidharan @salinias]

I am looking for #graduate #students interested in #Groundwater Management and Engineering through Managed #Aquifer #Recharge. If you are interested please DM me. If you are at @theAGU #AGU2022 lets meet up!
