Buena Vista Water Storage District Palms Groundwater Banking Project

Buena Vista Water Storage District Palms Groundwater Banking Project

The Palms Groundwater Banking Project is a groundwater replenishment and water banking project that will cover approx. 1,160 and will include features needed to apply surface water for groundwater recharge as well as facilities needed for recovery and treatment of stored groundwater. The Palms Project construction would include activities consistent with digging, trenching, and excavation of soil to create water holding ponds and channels, and the installation new pipeline and wells for later recovery. The project involves multiple stages: 1) construction of recharge facilities, 2) installation of pumps in existing wells and approx. 4 miles of pipeline, 3) construction of equipping additional recovery wells with associated piping, and 4) water treatment facilities if needed.
