Site ground water wells to augment instream flows. Once the stream flows are met, ground water would be applied for other supply uses.

• Improve habitat.

• Improved water quantity supply for users. Potential flood mitigation.

• Improvement to temperature and dilution to pollutants.

• Provides immediate instream flow improvements.

• Enforcement of water use.

• More surface water users shifting to ground water 

• Need to address priority date issues 

• Potential non-recharge and aquifer draw down 

• Costs 

• Subsidize other users 

• Enforcement

Identify amount of instream water needed and when during critical stream period, identify and quantify legal users, cost estimates and feasibility, including legal and regulatory (e.g. senior water rights impacts), identify all water rights holders, identify and evaluate quality improvements pre-and post implementation, identify implementation and administration roles/responsibilities, and gather data to support the impacts.
