Webinar: The State of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act

Tony

Thursday, November 17 • 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM

This webinar focuses on the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) and its implications for local governments. It is critical to this historic legislation’s success that local municipalities embrace the SGMA as an opportunity to improve their community’s resilience against future water crises. The goal of this webinar is to: 1) educate local leaders about the impacts of and opportunities provided by the SGMA, and 2) equip municipalities to actively engage in the GSA process and ensure that local needs are met.
