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.

The proposed monitoring network enhancements focus on:
- Expanding monitoring coverage across agricultural, urban, and groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs)
- Improving groundwater level data collection
- Increasing monitoring sites along key waterways like Big Chico Creek, Butte Creek, and Little Chico Creek
