Public Review Period: Groundwater Monitoring Network Enhancements

30-Day Public Review Period

​Review Dates: November 1 – November 30, 2024

The Vina Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) invites stakeholders to participate in a 30-day public review period for proposed improvements to the Groundwater Monitoring Network in the Vina Subbasin. These enhancements aim to address critical data gaps and support sustainable groundwater management to protect community water resources.

About the Proposed Enhancements

The proposed monitoring network enhancements focus on:

  • Expanding monitoring coverage across agricultural, urban, and groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs)
  • Improving groundwater level and quality data collection
  • Increasing monitoring sites along key waterways like Big Chico Creek, Butte Creek, and Little Chico Creek

For a detailed overview of proposed monitoring locations and criteria for site selection, please refer to:

Call for Stakeholder Input

We value input from all community members, including local landowners, agricultural producers, environmental advocates, and residents who depend on groundwater resources. Stakeholders are encouraged to provide feedback on:

  • The vision for the monitoring network
  • Site selection criteria
  • Rollout priorities to ensure network effectiveness

Your feedback is vital to shaping a responsive and inclusive monitoring network that meets community needs and aligns with long-term sustainability goals.
