Groundwater Sustainability Plan Bowman Subbasin

The Bowman Subbasin, which is entirely located within Tehama County, is comprised of approximately 122,500 acres, and relies on an average of approximately 5,200 acre-feet (AF) of groundwater annually for agriculture (1991-2019), has been identified by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) as a very low priority subbasin. Under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) of 2014, high or medium priority subbasins are required to prepare and be managed under a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP, or Plan) by January 31, 2022 (California Water Code (CWC) Section 10720.7(a)(1)). Although the Bowman Subbasin is not designated as a high or medium priority subbasin, the Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) received funding to develop the GSP and is leading its development in conjunction with three other GSPs being developed by the GSA.
