1. DWR Subsidence Meeting Shows Progress but Post-2040 Concerns Remain The Mid-Kaweah executive team met with the Department of Water Resources on July 21st to discuss subsidence. DWR acknowledged the GSA's approach of tying minimum thresholds to critical infrastructure and groundwater levels, and recognized that subsidence must be solved regionally — not in isolation. However, DWR flagged concern that the GSA's modeling shows potential continued subsidence after 2040; technical teams are now working on how to address what may be residual subsidence signals from pumping decades ago, which cannot simply be stopped even if all pumping ceased today.
