Document Description
The City of Los Banos is proposing to construct a basin for the purposes of surface and storm water capture as well as for incidental groundwater recharge. The basin would provide multiple benefits in terms of storage, incidental recharge, and re-regulation of various City and Grasslands Water District (GWD) water sources and possess a combined storage capacity of approximately 500 AF. GWD operates two canals near the Project site: the San Luis Canal bordering the site on the west and the Santa Fe Canal to the east. The San Luis Drain, which is part of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Central Valley Project (CVP), is situated between the Santa Fe Canal and the Project site. From either canal, GWD could physically deliver floodwaters, storm drainage, CVP and local surface water supplies, or other existing water supplies from the Mendota Pool on the San Joaquin River.
