Groundwater Sustainability Plan
What is a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP)?
A Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) is a long-term planning document required under California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). The purpose of a GSP is to ensure groundwater resources are managed sustainably for current and future users.
A GSP:
