Multi-benefit Land Repurposing Program’s Recharge Work Group accepting members; first meeting is Wednesday
SALINAS VALLEY — In an effort to increase groundwater recharge and storage while reducing flooding, four local agencies and nonprofits collaborating on the Multi-benefit Land Repurposing Program are seeking public input about known areas of flooding and recharge.
A public survey is now open and interested community members are invited to join the new Recharge Work Group for its first meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 23.
The Multi-benefit Land Repurposing Program (MLRP) is a California Department of Conservation initiative to reduce reliance on overdrafted groundwater basins. MLRP funds projects to support reduced reliance on groundwater while also providing community benefits and making agriculture more sustainable into the future.
