In recognition of Groundwater Awareness Week, it’s incredible to think about the tremendous work California has accomplished since our legislature passed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) in 2014. Work that wouldn’t have been possible without the partnership and effort of over 250 local Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs). To our partners, thank you for your time and dedication to writing over 100 groundwater sustainability plans (GSPs) that protect drinking water wells, reduce land sinking, and improve groundwater supplies for our communities.
