Enhancing Flow Opportunities in Scott Valley Groundwater Study
The Scott Valley Groundwater Study identifies flow enhancement opportunities to improve water management and increase stream flows. Initiatives include developing an integrated hydrologic model, exploring water management strategies, and implementing groundwater recharge projects since 2008. The study also emphasizes conjunctive water management to enhance streamflow in the Scott River Watershed. More information can be found on the Scott River TMDL webpage and UC Cooperative Extension Scott Valley Groundwater webpage.

Item 3: Flow Enhancement Opportunities Identified Through the Scott Valley Groundwater Study Bryan McFadin, NCRWQCB Introducing Dr. Thomas Harter and Gus Tolley, UC Davis June 29, 2017
Scott Valley Flow Enhancement Opportunities: Background Action Plan for the Scott River Watershed Sediment and Temperature Total Maximum Daily Loads (2006): Staff Report identified groundwater as an important factor controlling Scott River temperature Requested Siskiyou County develop a groundwater study plan for Scott Valley by 2008
Scott Valley Flow Enhancement Opportunities: Background The Scott Valley Community Groundwater Study Plan was completed in 2008 Since 2008: Implementation of the community-led Static Well Level Monitoring Program Siskiyou County established a Scott Valley Groundwater Advisory Committee (2010)
Scott Valley Flow Enhancement Opportunities: Background Since 2008: Development of the Scott Valley Integrated Hydrologic Model (SVIHM) Investigation of water management strategies to increase in- stream flows Development of specific management scenarios Pilot project to investigate feasibility of groundwater recharge projects
