Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This Working Paper provides background and regulatory context for land use planning and groundwater management in California, shares case studies that highlight the intersection of groundwater and land use, and makes specific recommendations to improve the linkage between land use decisions and groundwater management in the state. The report includes several local case studies - Paso Robles Groundwater Basin, Orcutt (Santa Maria Groundwater Basin), Butte County, and Kings Basin Integrated Regional Water Management - to show how different communities in the state are responding to their groundwater and land use challenges.
