The Groundwater Resources Association of California is convening its Fourth Annual GSA Summit: Working Toward Implementation, 9-10 June, 8:30 AM - 5 PM. PDT. This is a virtual event.
My friend and colleague Todd Jarvis (a GRAC Director) stated it aptly:
This meeting is quickly becoming the “must see” event for regional groundwater practitioners because of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 - one of the few laws in the world focusing on groundwater sustainability.
He's spot-on with that last statement - the SGMA is one of the few laws on Earth dealing with groundwater sustainability. He's all spot-on with this conference. I have never known him to even dabble in hyperbole - hyperbolas, maybe.
Here's the blurb:
Join fellow groundwater managers, regulators and technical experts for
GRA’s Fourth Annual GSA Summit: Working Toward Implementation.
In this two-day virtual event – you’ll learn with GSAs working towards a sustainable future. The format of this virtual conference features interactive panels and round tables to get deep into the issues GSAs are facing as they work on the second year of GSP development, or are starting on implementation activities. You’ll have a chance to hear directly from DWR and SWRCB about review findings and year one implementation progress.
Sessions will focus on lessons learned from GSAs that will have completed annual reporting twice since GSP adoption, how those data management systems are really working, accessing and putting to use implementation funding, developing and designing projects for basin sustainability, and the march toward five year updates.
Last year’s GSA Summit included over 130 attendees working at or with GSAs and tuning in to share input and raise the bar for all. Feedback received was exceptional and we will have a more interactive platform this year. Mark your calendar June 9th and 10th for GRA’s Fourth Annual GSA Summit: Working Toward Implementation!
Here is the draft agenda.
