Informational only. This page does not constitute a water availability determination or authorization to divert. Diversions for groundwater recharge require a water right permit from the State Water Resources Control Board and are governed by the terms of that permit, including gauging, bypass, and accounting requirements. Streams designated fully appropriated may be unavailable regardless of flow.
