compression zone at a pinch point
between the North American tectonic
plate and the Pacific tectonic plate.
The numerous faults in our area create
subterranean barriers that typically
imped the movement of groundwater
resulting is a complex array of highly
compartmentalized subsurface
structures in the area.
On December 4, 2013, the Board of
Directors authorized participation in
the Phase II activities of the Yucaipa
Basin study which included: (1) the
drilling of monitoring wells to further
investigate the opportunity for
groundwater recharge in the area; and
(2) the calculation of the Annual
Change in Storage for the groundwater
basins. The District staff continues to
engage the services of Geoscience to
provide an annual update of the
change in storage as an important tool to manage our groundwater resources.
