groundwater sustainability districts

Groundwater Sustainability Districts (GSDs) are local organizations designed to manage and protect groundwater resources. Formed in response to declining water levels, these districts aim to ensure a reliable water supply for communities, agriculture, and ecosystems. They develop and implement plans to balance groundwater use and recharge, promote conservation, and address issues like over-extraction. By involving stakeholders, farmers, and residents, GSDs foster collaboration and make informed decisions to sustainably manage this vital resource for the future.
