Implementing California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA): Implementing California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA)

This research effort is guided by the following overarching research question: What can be learned from existing groundwater management arrangements in California — adjudications, special act districts, and select AB 3030 planning processes and county ordi nances — to inform the creation of durable, sustainable groundwater management plans under California’s new Sustainable Groundwater Management Act? The current and planned research described in this presentation is being conducted with a team of researche rs at Stanford University’s Woods Institute on the Environment, Water in the West Program, and Gould Center on Dispute Resolution. Preliminary work is being supported by a grant from Stanford’s Environmental Ventures Program (Janet Martinez, PI).
