Sacramento Regional Water Bank
Sacramento Regional Water Bank
The Sacramento Regional Water Bank is a regional groundwater storage program designed to improve water supply reliability by storing water underground during wetter periods for use during drier conditions. Water providers in the Sacramento region are developing the Water Bank as part of a broader strategy to strengthen long-term water resilience and respond to the challenges of climate variability and changing hydrologic conditions.
Why it matters to SCGA
The Sacramento Central Groundwater Authority (SCGA) is part of the South American Subbasin, one of the groundwater subbasins underlying the Sacramento region. Because the region overlies both the North American and South American groundwater subbasins, the Sacramento Regional Water Bank is relevant to broader groundwater management, regional coordination, and long-term water supply reliability within the South American Subbasin.
Connection to the South American Subbasin
The Water Bank demonstrates how groundwater storage and regional coordination can support water management across the Sacramento region. As groundwater sustainability planning continues within the South American Subbasin, the Water Bank provides an important example of how regional water management strategies may intersect with basin conditions, groundwater use, and long-term sustainability planning.
