View Article PDF: How Is Demand Management Developing in SGMA Groundwater Sustainability Plans

Abstract

Demand management will play a critical role in both reaching groundwater sustainability under SGMA and determining the economic costs of groundwater regulation. Here, we provide an update on the approval process of 116 submitted groundwater sustainability plans. We detail demand management proposals and compare how these differ between plans that have been approved and those deemed incomplete or inadequate.
