Introduction to Groundwater, Watersheds, and the Nuts and Bolts of Groundwater Sustainability Plans |
 \;
Understanding the fundamental principles of groundwater and watershe ds and how we monitor, assess, and sustainably manage these resources with climate change and variability is critical and integral to Groundwater Su stainability Plans (GSPs) and other water-related programs. Whether at the local, state, or federal level, these programs are designed for sustainab le development, management, and protection of water resources in Californi a among competing users. As Groundwater Sustainability Agencies in Califor nia develop and implement their GSPs, professionals, decision makers, exec utives, agency employees, and stakeholders with diverse backgrounds and in a wide variety of private, non-profit, and government responsibilities at local, state, and federal levels, become directly or indirectly involved in the sustainable management and assessment of groundwater and surface wa ter to meet the requirements of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). Yet, many participants find themselves lacking the multidisciplin ary background and expertise to meaningfully participate in the technical and regulatory efforts related to water resources management. The amount o f technical information available often seems overwhelming.
This sh
ortcourse will review the fundamental principles of groundwater and waters
hed hydrology, water budgets, water quality, and water law and regulation
in an intuitive, highly accessible fashion. Through real world examples, p
articipants will learn about the most common tools for measuring, monitori
ng, and assessing groundwater and surface water resources. The course will
then review the key elements of a GSP. Case studies are used so participa
nts learn about
&bull\; development of conceptual models, water budge
ts, and GSP sustainability criteria\;
&bull\; designing minimum thres
holds and operating targets (measureable objectives) for GSPs and how to l
ink those to monitoring networks\;
&bull\; methods for addressing cli
mate variability and climate change\;
&bull\; recharge as a tool to e
nhance groundwater supplies\;
&bull\; GSA governance\; and
&bul
l\; available online planning resources.
By now you know the value of GRA even
t attendance for keeping up with evolving industry priorities, state-of-th
e-practice technologies, and emerging strategies for the challenges facing
the groundwater world. In addition, GRA events offer fantastic opportunit
ies for networking, learning from vendors exhibiting the latest tools and
technologies, and exposure for your organization.
