SBX7 6 Groundwater Elevation Monitoring Program Workshops
ACWA and the Department of Water Resources are sponsoring a series of interactive workshops on the SBX7 6 Groundwater Elevation Monitoring Program. Passed as part of the comprehensive package on water enacted by the Legislature in November 2009, SBX7 6 requires groundwater elevation monitoring for all 515 groundwater basins /sub-basins in California to better manage the resource during normal, wet and dry water years.
Because an entity must volunteer to coordinate monitoring efforts for each basin /sub-basin by Jan. 1, 2011, and elevation monitoring and reporting must begin by Jan.1, 2012, affected agencies are encouraged to attend a workshop to learn about the program, ask questions, and provide public input while the program elements are in draft form.
More on SBX7 6 Groundwater Elevation Monitoring is available here.
The workshops are free but registration is required.
