Use or storage of runoff or imported water, in conjunction with groundwater in a local aquifer, to offset use of groundwater or to store groundwater for later retrieval and use.
management of water as an integrated groundwater and surface water resource. Surface water and groundwater systems are often interconnected and cannot be managed separately.
TStoring imported water in a local aquifer, in conjunction with groundwater, for later retrieval and use.
The combined use of surface and ground waters to serve a particular purpose.
The coordinated and planned management of both surface and groundwater resources in order to maximize the efficient use of the resource; that is, the planned and managed operation of a groundwater basin and a surface water storage system combined through a coordinated conveyance infrastructure. Water is stored in the groundwater basin for later and planned use by intentionally recharging the basin during years of above-average surface water supply.
Integrated management of surface water and groundwater supplies to meet overall water supply and resource management objectives.
the planned use of groundwater in conjunction with surface water to optimize total water resources
the underground storage of surface water for later extraction and use, or using groundwater when surface water is not available.
The practice of using ground and surface water.
The use of land, air, or water for more than one purpose or by more than one person. Conjunctive uses exist side by side or in tandem.
Combined use of surface and ground water systems to optimize resource use and minimize adverse effects of using a single source.
Integrated management and use of surface water and groundwater.
