RCRC Hosts Discussion on Sustainable Groundwater Management

This week, RCRC hosted the second joint meeting with the California Association of Counties (CSAC) and the Urban Counties Caucus (UCC) to discuss the county perspective on sustainable groundwater management with the California Water Foundation (CWF). 

Nate Beason, RCRC Chair and Nevada County Supervisor opened the meeting, which included county representatives, and participants both in person and via webinar. The primary focus of the discussion centered on a list of CWF Key Questions, which can be accessed here.

The CWF is in the process of preparing policy recommendations on groundwater management reform to be submitted  to the Brown Administration and Legislature by mid-April. The Administration has fast-tracked the issue, and stated their intent to include groundwater management reform in a State Budget trailer bill. The CWF slide presentation can be accessed here.
