The California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) will hold a series of forums for stakeholders on the implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).
The forums are being held to ensure successful management of groundwater resources at the local level. Achieving success will require that local agencies have the necessary tools and resources and that public stakeholders remain engaged in long-term, sustainable groundwater management activities.
The public forums are intended for residential well owners, groundwater users and other interested members of the public. The public forums will focus on:
• The public stakeholder role in SGMA implementation;
• Local agency requirements regarding GSA formation and public involvement;
• Drought management and groundwater sustainability;
• SGMA and water rights;
• State involvement under SGMA (including technical and financial assistance and state intervention).
The forums will be held at the below locations:

The California golf industry has a stake in the management of groundwater resources at the local level and we need a seat at the table with the Groundwater Sustainability Agencies that will be formed throughout the state by June 30, 2017.
These meetings will be informative in nature and offer an opportunity to ask questions concerning sustainable groundwater management plans that will be implemented for critical groundwater basins by 2020 and mid- to high-priority basins by 2022.
Southern California Golf Association director of governmental affairs Craig Kessler and I will attend the meetings in Los Angeles. I urge industry representatives to attend one of the above meetings in their area.
