AbstractCalifornia's Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) of 2014 is landmark legislation that empowers local agencies, known as groundwater sustainability agencies, to sustainably manage groundwater resources for social, economic and environmental benefits. SGMA also includes specific requirements to identify and consider impacts to groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs). Recognizing the data and resource challenges surrounding these requirements, The Nature Conservancy developed this science-based guidance document to help agencies, consultants, and stakeholders efficiently incorporate GDEs into groundwater sustainability plans.
