Local agencies have been working on plans to manage groundwater for the long term, as required by California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. The PPIC Water Policy Center reviewed 36 groundwater plans for 11 critically overdrafted basins in the San Joaquin Valley-California’s largest farming region, where excess pumping is a major challenge. This review looked at the plans’ proposals to end overdraft and mitigate its undesirable effects. PPIC research associate Jelena Jezdimirovic presents these findings, and center director Ellen Hanak and Jelena Jezdimirovic discuss key takeaways and next steps in the groundwater management effort.
