Description:
The Soil Agricultural Groundwater Banking Index (SAGBI) is a suitability index for groundwater recharge on agricultural land. The SAGBI is based on five major factors that are critical to successful agricultural groundwater banking: deep percolation, root zone residence time, topography, chemical limitations, and soil surface condition. More details can be found in the SAGBI article in California Agriculture.

The map shown is the modified overlay (which is theoretical); it shows suitability groups when assuming that all soils with restrictive layers have been modified by deep tillage.
