Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) Survey of Lake County’s Groundwater Basins

The County of Lake is inviting sealed proposals for the Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) Survey to map and analyze the groundwater basins across Lake County, CA. Groundwater is a crucial resource to the county, supporting the region’s agricultural, ecological, and residential water needs. This invaluable resource sustains local farming operations, contributes to natural ecosystems, and provides reliable water access to households and communities. However, prolonged drought conditions, increased demand from growing populations, and the far-reaching impacts of climate change, including more intense weather patterns and reduced surface water availability, create ongoing challenges for sustainable groundwater management. Addressing these issues requires a proactive approach that balances water usage with long-term conservation efforts, leverages scientific data, and engages community stakeholders to safeguard groundwater supplies for future generations.
