The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) legislative package requires the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to prepare and publish a report by December 31, 2016, that presents the DWR’s best estimate of water available for replenishment of groundwater in the state.
The DWR has developed an issue paper highlighting relevant sections of the law, a summary of recent outreach, potential technical options and questions to consider as they develop the required final report.
The issue paper can be accessed here.
