Local Groundwater Management Plans

Local Groundwater Management Plans are strategic frameworks designed to sustainably oversee and protect underground water resources within a specific area. They involve assessing groundwater sources, setting usage limits, and implementing conservation practices to prevent over-extraction and contamination. These plans often include monitoring systems, stakeholder collaboration, and policies to ensure the long-term availability and quality of groundwater for drinking water, agriculture, and industry. By carefully managing groundwater, communities can balance current needs with future needs, maintaining healthy aquifers and preventing issues like land subsidence or water scarcity.
