I must ask you this: what did floodplains used to do before they got leveed and bulldozed?
Even if they had been farmland: it would be useless without enough water. Destroying natural habitats for these wouldn’t be great but on the other hand it would help nature too , because a low groundwater level would also be harmful to nature. The best way to use these areas would be growing trees and shrubs there which can survive seasonal flooding. This way you would get trees plus flooding areas.
OMG......Rich Rodriguez!!!!!! So happy to see him again.....
Are these basins trying to recharge aquifers and reduce soil salt concentrations or is the water just supposed to sit until used or it evaporates???
It's best when water that goes into aquifers goes though the biological processes that come with healthy diverse trees and soil biota.
Recharging the watertable increases water downstream in the watershed instead of decreasing it. It also mitigates flooding, drought, fire and slide danger.
Using trees and shrubs higher in the watershed, and putting checkdams, bunds, swales, bioswales, etc out of insite materials where it is safe and desirable to do so increases water absorption and protects soil, water supply, plants, wildlife, etcfrom weather extremes.
Brad Lancaster wrote Rainwater Harvesting in Drylands, and Mark Shepard wrote Restoration Ag. Both are great resources for building resiliency.
A great video on trees restoring moisture to an area:

This only happens every 15'ish years. Better put the surplus to use.
Probably one of the smartest things they’ve done since they damned the whole place
Have any wells that dried up have water again?
The water seeps down 1/2 ft of water per day. Wells buried under water no doubt are taking water in, those struggling in the Central Valley are now feet under the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi that was drained dry through pumping is on its way to becoming the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi once again. The water just arrived and so the wells that are just coming back on may just be a temporary situation. 20 years of heavy pumping and no recharge during all of that time is not going to be recharged by this single small flood, devastating as it was. How long will the huge Yangtze River Run dry with its monsoon falling in the Americas Beyond this one year is a question no one can answer today. Those that have pumps are pumping water in will not be planting in some locations and that's bad economics on today's bottom line with high electric bill and no Revenue with Fields flooded. And then there will be those Wells that will never pump again. The drought's over today but the ground water shortage remains.
Likely yes, because even deep well can have faster recharge as deeper water, previously captured, will start to fill them.
I've seen some recharge basins that are smaller, gravel filled, but pipes that go deep to carry the water down. Sort of the opposite of a well.
That's less than desirable because contaminants can filter in. It's better to employ frequent, smaller rainwater harvesting bunds, dams, checkdams, swales, raingardens, bioswales etc made from onsite materials. It's important to have healthy tree and soil relationships, along with other plant diversity to render many of the toxins harmless and use natural filtration.
The great thing about sequestering rainwater this way is it also reduces harmful salt concentrations, allows decomposition of soil, mitigates air pollution, flooding, drought, wildfires and slides as a healthy plant/soil/water relationship does a lot more for a lot less than huge teams of engineers.
Every little bit helps.
you cant pump it out of the ground until it gets in the ground.they should be rerouting as much as possible before its lost to the ocean.
Good news. They're rerouting as much as possible. Obviously. Hundreds of thousands of Acres are being inundated with every water canal running at full power and some 15 new projects running for the first time. Farmers are being encouraged to flood their fields that rely on the ditches and the largest lake west of the Mississippi which has become the largest Farmland in America is now becoming the largest lake in America once again west of the Mississippi flooding out the towns in the farms and the farmers. With nowhere to drain this Lake will continue Rising into the summer catching every drop. Due to the over-pumping the land has subsided 20 to 30 feet which made the dikes protecting the property ineffective and below the safety line, those levees have broken and they are refilling the largest lake west of the Mississippi, it doesn't have a drain. The one guy was bragging his pumps were preventing flooding downstream moving 50,000 acre-feet a day that is going into his new canal that is allowing Farmers to flood their fields and has a large storage pond at the end. I still give credit where credit is due. All of the rivers are short. It isn't possible to do to these Rivers what was done to the Colorado River with Hoover dam 700 miles Upstream and 250 square miles large. They're raising several dams more than doubling the capacity in one Reservoir. How do you catch all the water, the Yangtze monsoon, and continue to farm? Largest Farmland the largest lake west of the Mississippi where the levees have fallen is soon to become the largest body of water west of the Mississippi once again, the content of Lake Michigan I heard it described, with nowhere for it to drain. Tulare Lake, 687 square miles of Farmland has sunk 20 feet recently, and levees naturally failed being 20 feet lower than when built. Largest lake west of the Mississippi is filling up from bone dry farmland. Most every reservoir full or prepared for flood control as the snow melts. Being able to catch every drop so Riverside never floods even as it rains over an inch an hour like they do in Tokyo Japan digging massive storage cathedrals for pumping at a later time. I think they're making great strides after 15 years of construction. Man is so small nature so great. How can man hold a monsoon in the desert that he not thirst, genie in the bottle, Trojan Horse, nature always wins when she's Karen, no man can't find Safety and Security. With all the disaster going on how do you put even more water into the flooded Waters as all areas are being flooded simultaneously? We can't catch a typhoon season and put it all into the bottle. This typhoon season has broken every record like 400%. What's not underwater is likely being irrigated everywhere
Floodplains silly. The right wing talking point is misguided. Yes, we have stupid water system. No, not for that reason, we should not dam it all.
There are almost no fish left in the aquifers🐬🐟🦈🐋
It's just as well. It's hard for them to get food when you're underground.
@@b_uppy ain't that where the worms live?🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱

Worms live near the surface, in a out the top 6 feet of soil.
@@b_uppy you do understand that I am making a joke, right? Cause you ain't helping 😒

Glad to hear it.
