The Madera Subbasin is identified by California Department of Water Resources (DWR) as a critically overdrafted basin. Therefore, the Madera Subbasin GSAs must develop, adopt, and submit a GSP (or GSPs) to DWR for the entire Madera Subbasin by January 31, 2020. The Madera Subbasin is managed by seven GSAs, of which four (City of Madera GSA, Madera Irrigation District GSA, Madera County GSA, and Madera Water District GSA) have developed a joint GSP (attached here) and three (Gravelly Ford Water District GSA, New Stone Water District GSA, and Root Creek Water District GSA) have developed individual GSPs.
