California Water Institute and Water Blueprint of San Joaquin Valley have partnered to establish a working water plan for the San Joaquin Valley that unifies regional water stakeholders to collaboratively find sustainable water supply and management solutions that best mitigate regional water issues.
Additionally, the unified water plan report will serve as a guide to Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) compliance.
The probationary hearing for the Tulare Lake Subbasin will be held next month. The subbasin is used by two Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) that operate in Kings County, Mid-Kings River and South Fork Kings.
SGMA requires GSAs to establish a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). The current GSP is under review by the State Water Resources Control Board.
