Project Goals


The project goal is to provide a science-based knowledge and awareness of watershed areas providing quality, native water recharge to the groundwater basin and a more integrated approach to watershed planning.


Primary Goals:

  • Identify undeveloped areas in the western section of the Upper Los Angeles River Area (ULARA) that currently provide quality native water recharge to the San Fernando Groundwater Basin (SFB), a local water resource for more than 600,000 people.
  • Identify opportunities to increase infiltration of native water to the groundwater basin.
  • Integrate science-based data into existing jurisdictional agencies and local watershed groups' plans.

Desired outcome:

  • Provide information to decrease dependency on Delta-derived water to supplement the groundwater basin.
  • Protect existing infiltration areas to increase the recharge of high quality native water.
  • Raise awareness of local and regional jurisdictions on the importance of high quality native water recharge to groundwater basins.
