From the Department of Water Resources:
The Department of Water Resources (DWR) today released the draftCalifornia’s Groundwater – Update 2020 (Bulletin-118), containing information on the condition of the State’s groundwater, which is especially important as California faces a critically dry water year. DWR encourages community members and water managers to review the publication and provide input.
This version ofCalifornia’s Groundwaterprovides a comprehensive look at statewide groundwater activities, compiling technical information and data from 2003 to 2020. This bulletin recognizes the historic passage of theSustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA)in 2014 and builds a statewide framework to share new information and progress made by locals who are managing groundwater basins across the state. It also highlights emerging topics such as water markets and the impacts of climate change on groundwater and summarizes groundwater information for each of the State’s 10 hydrologic regions.
该出版物包含英语和西班牙语的概述部分，以及一份详细的全州报告，其中包括有关地下水资源的当前知识，包括有关州地下水的位置，特征，使用，管理状况和条件的信息。该出版物还提出了支持地下水的未来管理和保护的发现和建议。
This information can help communities and local water managers work together to find unique ways to manage their groundwater basins for long-term reliability and support actions being implemented as part of Governor Gavin Newsom’s2020 California Water Resilience Portfolio.
California’s Groundwateris organized to share the growing body of groundwater data that is available now and will continue to be submitted by local agencies in the future as part of the implementation of SGMA.
DWR is developing a companionCalifornia’s Groundwaterweb-based dashboard leveraging the California Natural Resources Agency Open Data Platform to improve the access and timeliness of statewide groundwater information, making it easily available for water managers and the public to use.
