Advisory Committee

A number of Advisory Committees have assisted in addressing the needs of farmers and communities under Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. There was a County GSAs Advisory Committee in 2020, which consisted of members from the three subbasins and different demographic groups.  This group provided feedback on the GSP development to the Board of Supervisors as well as relaying information to their demographic groups.
