JOIN THE CHALLENGE
Become part of the solution to help our community.
FCGMA is accepting submissions from the general public to aide our work in preparing a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) to submit to California’s State Department of Water Resources that will propose a strategy to bring our basins into a sustainable balance within 20 years. Share your innovative water supply and conservation ideas to us by December 30th, 2017 with a detailed write-up with ideas for conservation, or most importantly, plans for the water supply to increase water into the aquifers. Your plan could contribute to a reliable and resilient water system for our future.
Sharing your vision with us will help manage our water, a precious limited resource.
We look forward to reviewing your idea-entry for FCGMA’s Challenge! Before you submit your entry, please read who can enter and our submission guidelines.
FCGMA welcomes ideas from engineers, agricultural leaders, water districts, hydrogeologists, water experts, and students to help generate new ideas and solutions to develop a GSP proposal focused on creating a model program to achieve a 20 year glide path to sustainability of our four basins.
