In a recent study, scientists found that a previously unmeasured source—water percolating through soil and fractured rock below California’s Sierra Nevada mountains—delivers an average of 4 million acre-feet of water to the state’s Central Valley each year. It accounts for about 10% of all the water that enters this highly productive farmland annually.
