Knowledge of subsurface lateral flow of shallow groundwater is important in efficient management of irrigation and drainage water in the western San Joaquin Valley. Physical and economic models necessary to develop management strategies require information on the volume of subsurface flows. The purpose of this study was to assess and quantify the direction and magnitude of subsurface lateral flows in a roughly 100-square-mile region, based on data currently available from public water agencies.
