Rewilding rivers will certainly help. The effect on the LA river alone was significant in achieving better ground water recharge. We do need to take that further and undo a lot of the concrete channels constraining urban river beds. We also need to develop and employ more agricultural processes that work with nature and result in less dependency on irrigation and tillage. There needs to be state and federal level leadership on this to make stewardship of the land just as important to industrial farming as the bottom line profits.
