The 2025 Annual Report — submitted first in the state — confirms the subbasin is healthy. Spring groundwater levels rose approximately 3 feet year-over-year, groundwater storage has increased an average of ~5,000 acre-feet per year over the last decade, and no issues were identified for land subsidence, interconnected surface water depletion, or water quality (one well with elevated salinity is considered a baseline condition, not a new concern). For growers, this indicates the basin is performing well under current management and no new corrective actions were discussed.
