Assessment Survey
Please see email below highlighting a survey for interested individuals to share their thoughts
with the Groundwater Demand Mangement Network. The survey will be used by the Network
to help shape their program, which could be very useful as the Colusa and Corning Subbasins
develop their own groundwater demand management programs.
Please consider completing the 5 minute survey if you have an interest in groundwater demand
management.
Take Care,

New Groundwater Demand Management
Network Launches Community Needs
Assessment Survey
A coalition of leading water experts recently announced the launch of the Groundwater
Demand Management Network, a new statewide initiative designed to create a
comprehensive community of practice for managing California's critical
groundwater resources.
The Network has launched its California Groundwater Community Needs Assessment
to help shape programming, identify priority needs, and establish partnerships across
the state. The Network encourages all interested parties to take the five-minute
survey available at: https://bit.ly/gdmn-survey. The survey should be completed by
September 30, 2025. The outcomes will prove invaluable to guide the services the
Network will offer.
With California facing increasing water scarcity and the ongoing implementation of the
Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, the Network aims to connect groundwater
managers, agricultural producers, municipal water suppliers, and other partners to
share knowledge, tools, and strategies for sustainable water use.
“California's groundwater sustainability depends on collaboration and shared
expertise,” said Dr. Robyn Grimm, CEO and President of the California Water Data
Consortium and Network leadership team member. “This Network will create a
platform where water users can access cutting-edge data tools, learn from each
other's experiences, and develop evidence-based solutions to our most pressing water
challenges.”
The Network’s leadership team brings together expertise from academia,
environmental organizations, and engineering:
Robyn Grimm, CEO and President, California Water Data Consortium
Jeff Davids, Supervising Engineer, Davids Engineering
Isaya Kisekka, Director, UC Davis Agricultural Water Center
Mike Myatt, Senior Director of Climate Resilient Water Systems, Environmental
Defense Fund
Mike Myatt emphasized the Network's comprehensive approach: "We envision building
a statewide community that connects everyone from individual farmers to large water
districts to provide practical resources, fostering partnerships, and helping implement
proven groundwater demand management strategies that work in real-world conditions
across California's diverse regions and beyond."
