Groundwater Recharge Areas

Oct 25, 2016 (Last modified Mar 9, 2018)
Description:
This data layer shows areas that were determined to be of groundwater basin recharge potential within Santa Barbara County.

The recharge zone analysis used GIS layers representing two main criteria (groundwater depth and hydrologic soil type) to determine areas of high, medium and low recharge potential. Recharge potential characterized through previous studies of groundwater basins was incorporated into this analysis when possible. It should be noted that the Figure represents a high level analysis and that a more detailed site specific analysis would need to be conducted prior to selecting any site for a recharge facility.

Data was provided by RMC Water and Environment, pulled from the Long Term Supplemental Water Supply Alternatives Report created for the Santa Barbara County Water Agency.

The dataset was clipped to a buffered boundary of Santa Barbara County, California.
