Over four months, \u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Cameron was able to flood his fields with a large amount of water — equivalent to water three feet deep across 1,000 acres. It all went into the ground, and it didn't harm his grapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Cameron's unconventional idea has become a hot new \u003ca href=\"http://waterinthewest.stanford.edu/groundwater/recharge/\">trend\u003c/a> in California's water management circles — especially this week, with rivers flooding all over the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is going to be the future for California,\" Cameron says. \"If we don't store the water during flood periods, we're not going to make it through the droughts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://dahlke.ucdavis.edu/\">Helen Dahlke\u003c/a>, a groundwater hydrologist at the University of California, Davis, is working with a half-dozen farmers who are ready to flood their fields this year. \"We have \u003ca href=\"http://dahlke.ucdavis.edu/research/groundwater-banking/\">test sites\u003c/a> set up on almonds, pistachios and alfalfa, just to test how those crops tolerate water that we put on in the winter,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two big reasons for these experiments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first is simply that California's aquifers are depleted. It got really bad during the recent drought, when farmers couldn't get much water from the state's surface reservoirs. They \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/08/27/434649587/despite-the-drought-california-farms-see-record-sales\">pumped\u003c/a> so much groundwater that many wells ran dry. The water table in some areas dropped by 10, 20, or even 100 feet. Aquifers are especially \u003ca href=\"http://waterinthewest.stanford.edu/groundwater/overdraft/\">depleted\u003c/a> in the southern part of California's Central Valley, south of Fresno. Flooding fields could help the aquifers recover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second reason to put water underground is climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has always counted on snow, piling up in the Sierra Nevada mountains, to act as a giant water reservoir. Water is released gradually as the snow melts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But because of a warming climate, California now is getting \u003ca href=\"https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indicators-snowpack\">less snow\u003c/a> in winter, and more rain. The trend is expected to intensify. But heavy rain isn't as useful because it quickly outstrips the capacity of the state's reservoirs and just runs into the ocean. Meanwhile, the state gets very little rain during the summer, when crops need water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We really have to find new ways of storing and capturing rainfall in the winter, when it's available,\" says Dahlke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's no better place to store water than underground. Over the years, California's farmers have extracted twice as much water from the state's aquifers as the total storage capacity of the state's dams and man-made lakes.

It's going to require a lot of farmers and owners of ag land to be willing to flood land when the water's available.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Gleick says, even if this large-scale flooding can be accomplished, it won't be enough, by itself, to protect groundwater supplies. It will have to be accompanied by strict limits on how much water farmers can pump from aquifers. Groundwater — which until recently was almost completely unregulated — will have to be managed so that water is there when farmers really need it, when the rains don't fall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
