2 Title: Stabilising and Restoring an Aquifer and Springs Managed Aquifer Recharge in the Walla Walla River Basin, Oregon ( ) The Walla Walla Basin is a bi state basin in northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington, through which flows the Walla Walla River. The river system itself is a primary passage and rearing habitat for endangered steelhead and bull trout, and a focus of tribal efforts to restore Chinook salmon and lamprey populations. The middle section of the Walla Walla River system is highly modified with numerous distribution channels which divert water out of the main channel for irrigation. While many of the distribution channels ultimately flow back to the main channel downstream flow in the middle section of the Walla Walla River are significantly reduced. Much like a large scale braided river system, the underlying alluvial aquifer has demonstrated strong connectivity between the surface water and groundwater. Over the past 100 years, human activities including the straightening of natural river channels, the lining of irrigation canals as well as a dramatic increase in groundwater withdrawals have resulted in declining groundwater levels and subsequent decreased natural spring flows. Recognizing these trends, the Walla Walla Basin Watershed Council (WWBWC) in partnership with the Hudson Bay District Improvement Company (HBDIC) decided in 2003 and 2004 to build a pilot alluvial managed aquifer recharge (MAR) project. The goals of this project are to test the feasibility of MAR, and develop operational and monitoring plans that can be used to facilitate future MAR projects. Recharge operations have been conducted at the HBDIC MAR site in the winter and spring of each of the past 6 years. We will discuss the permitting, construction and operations of spreading basins as well as the design and results of a system wide surface and groundwater monitoring system. We will also discuss the operational issues and constraints from six recharge seasons where the site was operated for a total of 602 days. During this time, approximately 13,100 acre feet (16.1 Million m 3 ) of water was discharged to the underlying alluvial aquifer system. Recharge volumes ranged from a low of approximately 400 acre feet (493,000 m 3 ) during the first recharge season, 36 days in the spring of 2004, to a high of 3200 acre feet (3.95 Million m 3 ) in the 128 day long recharge season. The HBDIC MAR project is interpreted to have had a beneficial impact on the surrounding area, including flow restoration in the springs that feed Johnson Creek and increased water levels seen in wells in the vicinity of the site. The fact that long term water level declines appear to have been slowed, or even reversed in local wells suggest that MAR has the potential to both increase water levels in the alluvial aquifer and replace water lost to pumping (increased storage). Groundwater quality also has been shown to have not been degraded as a result of the project. The project has lead to the incorporation of MAR into an overall water management program that include water banking and changes to water regulations.
