Groundwater Sustainability Plan

A Groundwater Sustainability Plan is a strategic guide designed to ensure a community's underground water sources are used responsibly and remain healthy for the future. It involves assessing how much water is available, managing how much is extracted, and protecting the quality of the water. The goal is to balance current use with conservation, prevent depletion, and address issues like over-pumping or contamination. These plans are created through collaboration among stakeholders and follow legal requirements to promote reliable water supplies for households, agriculture, and industry over the long term.
