Excerpt from Evaluation of Ground Water Resources, Vol. 5: Sonoma County Ground water plays an important role in Sonoma County. As the population of this North Bay county has increased over the last 30 years, the use of ground water has increased. Over 15,000 wells are known to exist in the county. These wells are used for domestic and agricultural purposes in rural areas and for municipal and industrial purposes in urban areas. The Sonoma County Water Agency requested the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) to undertake a cooperative study to estimate the volume of ground water in storage and the recharge potential in the Santa Rosa Plain, Petaluma Valley, Sonoma Valley, and Alexander Valley and Healdsburg area. The study examined alternative ways the ground water resources of the county may be used conjunctively with the Russian River and other surface water sources. The present study was designed to augment an earlier countywide investigation of geology and hydrology conducted jointly by the Sonoma County Planning Department and DWR. Results of the earlier investigation were published as DWR Bulletin 118-4, Volume 1 (Ford, 1975). The results of this recent study are presented in four volumes. This report is Volume 5 and describes ground water conditions in Alexander Valley and the Healdsburg area. Volume 2 deals with the Santa Rosa Plain, Volume 3 with the Petaluma Valley, and Volume 4 with the Sonoma Valley. This report on Alexander Valley and the Healdsburg area includes evaluation of: geologic and hydrologic characteristics of the ground water basins; the volume of fresh-ground water in the basins; the interconnection of ground water and surface water; and the potential for artificial recharge of ground water.

Because water in the United State has not been traded in markets, there is no meaningful estimate of what it would cost if it were traded. But failing to establish ground water's valueâ€"for in situ uses such as sustaining wetlands as well as for extractive uses such as agricultureâ€"will lead to continued overuse and degradation of the nation's aquifers. In Valuing Ground Water an interdisciplinary committee integrates the latest economic, legal, and physical knowledge about ground water and methods for valuing this resource, making it comprehensible to decision-makers involved in Superfund cleanup efforts, local wellhead protection programs, water allocation, and other water-related management issues. Using the concept of total economic value, this volume provides a framework for calculating the economic value of ground water and evaluating tradeoffs between competing uses of it. Included are seven case studies where ground-water valuation has been or could be used in decisionmaking. The committee examines trends in ground-water management, factors that contribute to its value, and issues surrounding ground-water allocation and legal rights to its use. The book discusses economic valuation of natural resources and reviews several valuation methods. Presenting conclusions, recommendations, and research priorities, Valuing Ground Water will be of interest to those concerned about ground-water issues: policymakers, regulators, economists, attorneys, researchers, resource managers, and environmental advocates.

An All-Inclusive Guide to Efficient, Cost-Effective Management of Groundwater Resources Groundwater Sustainability is a reliable, one-stop guide containing all the information you'll need to succeed in your groundwater management and development projects. It covers virtually every aspect of the subject, from how to characterize groundwater and evaluate its resources to determining the interactions between surface water and groundwater. Packed with hundreds of illustrations, this expansive guide reviews both established and innovative aquifer restoration techniques and technologies, including the control and remediation of contaminant sources and groundwater contaminant plumes. You'll also find valuable information regarding resource augmentation, the engineering necessary for resource development, and building comprehensive databases for efficient, cost-effective assessment. Written in an inviting-to-read style by a recognized expert in the field, Groundwater Sustainability provides the last word on the all-important subject of how to maintain and manage the most precious natural resource. Inside: In-depth coverage of groundwater availability and sustainability Treatment options for groundwater contaminants Tools and techniques for effectively managing aquifers Proven tactics for protecting and restoring groundwater resources Case studies, figures, graphs, and photographs Tips on building assessment models using a GIS platform This all-in-one guide covers: Global Freshwater Resources Aquifer Evaluation Groundwater Resource Development Groundwater Recharge Climate Change and Its Impact on Groundwater Groundwater Chemistry Drinking Water Treatment Options Managing & Restoring Groundwater Resources
The development of environmentally sound groundwater resources has recently become a high priority throughout the world. Many countries are currently developing comprehensive regulations for the management of groundwater resources. Within this framework an assessment of renewable groundwater resources is one of the most important factors. This book is based on the author's many years of experience in the assessment of surface and subsurface water resources, field experiments and computer oriented work, in both developed and developing countries. An environmental approach is followed. Groundwater resources are seen as a part of the aquatic ecosystem in which not only geology but the whole lithosphere, vegetation, surface resources and atmosphere play an equally important role. Both simple and advanced models are presented, which can also be applied to complicated geological structures where standard groundwater models fail to operate. Conceptual and stochastic models are presented in a form which the reader can use as a guide for further model development - an approach much in demand in regions where many different features and a variety of data are available. Experimental work leading to the identification of groundwater resources is also broadly discussed. The book will prove valuable to students at university level, researchers, institutes, departments, and consultancies involved in water resources.
