Groundwater Recharge for Drought and Endangered Species Protection
San Antonio Water Systems (SAWS) developed its H2Oaks aquifer storage and recovery project in response to pumping restrictions set on its primary source of water supply, the Edwards Aquifer. The H2Oaks project pumps water from the Edwards Aquifer during wet years and transports it to the H2Oaks project site, where it is injected into the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer for storage. Stored water is withdrawn to meet municipal demand when restrictions on Ed…
Groundwater Recharge to Address Seawater Intrusion and Supply in an Urban Coastal Aquifer
The Orange County Water District (OCWD) was created in 1933 by the California Legislature and tasked with managing water resources in Orange County. As a part of its strategy to fight seawater intrusion and guarantee a reliable groundwater supply in the basin, OCWD built a recycled wastewater facility that treats wastewater received from the Orange County Sanitation District and recharges the water into the basin through injection wells and infil…
Groundwater Recharge for a Regional Water Bank
The Kern Water Bank is a semi-private groundwater bank operated by the Kern Water Bank Authority in Kern County, CA. The bank stores water from the State Water Project (SWP), Central Valley Project (CVP), and the Kern River. It is massive in scale, covering over 20,000 acres, with approximately 2.5 million acre feet diverted to the bank since 1995. The bank stores water on behalf of its member water agencies, which include both public and private…
Introduction to the Special Collection
Unsustainable management of groundwater basins has led to groundwater depletion, with impacts to human and environmental systems that will be exacerbated by the hydrologic effects of climate change. Increasing inflows to groundwater basins through managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is a mechanism that can help bring aquifers into sustainable balance, yet in spite of significant physical potential, MAR remains underused. Increasing emphasis on the tec…
An Urban Drought Reserve Enabled by State Groundwater Recharge Legislation
For decades, the city of Albuquerque, NM, relied solely on groundwater for its municipal water supply. However, concerns about long-term sustainability of its local groundwater resources spurred the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (the Water Authority) to pursue a groundwater recharge project which could serve as a drought reserve for future municipal use. Aided by new favorable state groundwater recharge legislation and fun…
Groundwater Recharge to Address Integrated Groundwater and Surface Waters
The Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA) Recharge Program aims to recharge an average of 250,000 AFY to mitigate the effects of groundwater pumping on surface water resources and, in doing so, to reduce conflicts between surface and groundwater users. The Idaho Water Resources Board (IWRB) partners with canal and irrigation companies to use IWRB’s surface water rights to conduct aquifer recharge through in- and off-canal seepage and direct injectio…
Incentivizing Groundwater Recharge in the Pajaro Valley Through Recharge Net Metering (ReNeM)
Decades of groundwater overuse in the Pajaro Valley have contributed to an estimated groundwater overdraft of 12,100 acre-feet per year (AFY) in the basin. In response, the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency adopted a pilot groundwater recharge program, called Recharge Net Metering (ReNeM). ReNeM encourages development of infiltration projects on private or public land by offering a rebate on groundwater pumping fees based on the net increase …
People in prison who inject drugs
Background Prisons are complex environments where there is a high risk of transmission of blood borne viruses, including hepatitis C (HCV). Providing trustworthy information in such settings can be challenging. This article presents the findings from a qualitative study examining interpersonal trust between people in prison and other individuals from whom they access information regarding HCV (health professionals, custodial officers, and peers).…

Comparison Between an Independent Midwifery Program and a District Hospital in Rural Tanzania
Tanzania faces a significant shortage of physicians. In light of this, nurse-midwives have been critical in reducing maternal mortality in Tanzania in recent years. Despite the importance of both entities in providing health care to women in Tanzania, there have been few studies addressing the cultural competency of each entity. We shadowed and assisted both an independent nurse-midwife as well as physicians and nurse-midwives at a large district…
A Critical Review of Rural Poverty Literature
Poverty rates are highest in the most urban and most rural areas of the United States and are higher in nonmetropolitan than metropolitan areas. Yet perhaps because only one-fifth of the nation's 35 million poor people live in nonmetro areas, rural poverty has received less attention than urban poverty from both policy makers and researchers. The authors provide a critical review of literature that examines the factors affecting poverty in rural …
Effects of Changing Climate on Weather and Human Activities (The Global Change Instruction Program)
Sustainable living
Environmentalism is the first worldwide social movement to emerge in many decades. People are studying it as a socio‐political phenomenon and as a body of thought articulated by philosophers searching for the good life. We propose an ecopolitical theory rooted in fundamental realities of biogeochemical systems that no society can ignore and survive; it is not political philosophy in the normal sense of that term. The theoretical structure is elab…
