Sustainable Groundwater Management Act(SGMA)Groundwater Sustainability Planning
ATTENTION ALL USERS OF GROUNDWATER WELLS IN COLUSA AND/OR GLENN COUNTY:
The State of California under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) law requires all groundwater well
users to live under a Groundwater Sustainability Plan developed by Groundwater Sustainability Agencies that must be
completed by January 31, 2022. This Plan will require all groundwater well use to be sustainable for all parts of the
basins throughout California, and will potentially require meters and records on groundwater use. Also required will be a
plan for recharging the aquifers, if groundwater falls into an overdraft situation.
Development of the Groundwater Sustainability Plans by Groundwater Sustainability Agencies is just getting underway
in Colusa and Glenn Counties. Each groundwater user has the opportunity to help develop these Plans which all users
will have to live by. It would behoove all groundwater users to get involved in this process.
