Welcome Groundwater Sustainability Agencies!

Groundwater Resources Association of California (GRA) was involved with the development of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) legislation and took a leadership role in its implementation including development of Groundwater Sustainability Plan regulations, best management practices (BMPs) and guidance documents prepared by the Department of Water Resources.  As the state’s leading organization for groundwater professionals, GRA recognizes the vital role GSAs will play in the local management of groundwater resources and we are poised to provide meaningful support to all GSAs through our technical leadership and educational programs and forums.  GRA welcomes GSA representatives to join the organization and take advantage of the benefits of membership. 

Representatives from GSAs are charged with collaborating to achieve groundwater sustainability consistent with SGMA.  Taking advantage of the many opportunities offered by GRA will help make that happen.  We welcome GSAs to GRA!
 

Representatives of GSAs can join GRA at the Government Rate of $100, a $25 discount off of a Regular Individual membership.

June 6-7, 2018

First Annual Groundwater Sustainability Agency Summit

GRA is planning the First Annual GSA Summit for June 6-7, 2018 in Sacramento, with a slightly different GRA format to serve as a forum for GSA members to network and connect on technical and policy issues to address SGMA compliance. Summit sessions will have 1–2 topic-focused presentations followed by 4–5 brief “flash” presentations by GSAs to provide information on their approach to addressing each specific topic.

 

Sept 25-27, 2018

First Annual Western Groundwater Congress

Don’t miss GRA’s new, “super-sized” annual conference – the Western Groundwater Congress.  This three-day, four-track event promises to be the premier technical conference focusing on Western groundwater quality and resources.  In addition to world-class technical presentations, there will be talks on important upcoming legislation, sustainable groundwater management, and practical hands-on workshops.
