SGMA
Funding for this project has been provided in full or in part from the Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014 and through an agreement with the State Department of Water Resources.
The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) is a 2014 California law that requires groundwater to be sustainably managed over a long period. This means the amount of groundwater that can be taken every year cannot, overtime, create lower groundwater levels and/or:
- Harm water quality
- Deplete creeks, streams and rivers (or other connected water)
- Create land subsidence
- Cause seawater to seep in
- Cause other significant and adverse impacts
