1 8/25/14 An Open Letter on Sustainable Groundwater Management from California Water Scientists Dear Governor Edmund G. Brown and California State Legislators: As scientists working on water and water management in California, we are calling on you to take decisive, timely action to protect California's groundwater resources. To address current and future water challenges, the state must adopt a statewide approach to sustainable groundwater management this year. California's ongoing, record-breaking drought has highlighted many of the weaknesses of our water management system. California is the only state in the nation that does not comprehensively monitor or regulate groundwater, a dubious distinction that we can no longer afford. Groundwater is a vital resource in California, providing close to 60 percent of the state's water supply in a dry year. i Monitoring wells reveal that over the last several decades groundwater tables have dropped during dry periods and in some regions have not had a chance to recover. ii During the dry period, for example, it is estimated that we lost more than one million acre feet of groundwater storage in the Central Valley of California. iii Groundwater is a key buffer during drought, our saving account, and with longer and more-severe dry periods projected for the Western United States iv, improved groundwater management is increasingly critical for the state's water resource reliability, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. As temperatures have warmed over the past century, the prevalence and duration of droughts have increased in parts of the American West v and climate change is expected to continue that trend. California must act now to halt the negative consequences of excessive groundwater pumping currently being experienced across the state, including land subsidence, saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers, harm to ecosystems, increased conflicts among water users, and public health crises related to the loss or contamination of drinking-water supplies. While there is widespread acknowledgement of the need for improvement, effective groundwater management must be science based. We need timely, transparent, accurate data and information to gain a better understanding of the system, prevent problems, and formulate solutions. State law currently encourages, but does not require, groundwater monitoring and reporting. Finally, effective groundwater management depends on clear timelines for achieving and assessing results. As water scientists, we believe comprehensive, statewide groundwater management is needed this year. We support efforts to require local groundwater management entities to collect basic groundwater data and to develop plans to manage groundwater using sustainable yield metrics by This is a historic opportunity to bring California's groundwater policies into the twenty-first century. The time for change is now. i Department of Water Resources Public Update for Drought Response: Groundwater Basins with Potential Water Shortages and Gaps in Groundwater Monitoring.
