1. Recent Groundwater Conditions Were Generally Stable, but Future Risks Remain
The board accepted the first five-year Periodic Evaluation of the Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) and authorized its submission to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) by January 2027. It found generally stable conditions, with groundwater-level declines during the 2021–2022 drought followed by recovery in wetter years. Estimated annual groundwater extraction ranged from about 17,800 to 20,400 acre-feet, below the basin’s estimated sustainable yield of 23,900 acre-feet per year.
