Piru Basin Groundwater Sustainability Plan

The Piru Basin (the Basin) is managed (along with the downslope Fillmore Basin) by the Fillmore and Piru Basins Groundwater Sustainability Agency (Agency). The Basin is planned to remain sustainable over the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) implementation and sustainability period, based on the current understanding of historical, current (2019), and projected (2022 through 2072) groundwater conditions in relation to the sustainability indicators specified in SGMA. A sustainability indicator refers to any of the effects caused by groundwater conditions occurring throughout the basin that, when significant and unreasonable, cause undesirable results. The Agency, with consideration of feedback from active stakeholder engagement, has identified and planned for the prevention of significant and unreasonable undesirable results.

The Tule Subbasin is designated by DWR as a critically overdrafted basin with an estimated subbasin average overdraft of 115,300 acre-feet per year. The Agencies estimated annual average overdraft within the Tule Subbasin is 70,000 acre-feet per year. The overdraft conditions have caused issues for those reliant on groundwater pumping, which include municipal, domestic, and agriculture users. Other issues generated from the overdraft include areas of land subsidence, which predominantly occur in the northwestern portion of the Agency. A sample of the Pixley GSP is displayed below. Due to size, this full 2,421-page document must be downloaded from the Department of Water Resources.

Preliminary Evaluation of Impacts of Potential Groundwater Sustainability Indicators on Future Groundwater Extraction Rates – Oxnard Plain and Pleasant Valley Groundwater Basins

United Water Conservation District (UWCD) | April 4th, 2017

This evaluation was performed to estimate the combined sustainable yield of the Oxnard Plain (including the Forebay) and Pleasant Valley groundwater basins (the study are

This evaluation was performed to estimate the combined sustainable yield of the Oxnard Plain (including the Forebay) and Pleasant Valley groundwater basins (the study area). The purpose is to provide supporting information to United Water Conservation District’s (United) management and Board of Directors in establishing groundwater management policies that are consistent with the mission of the agency. United recognizes that the compliance actions associated with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), the formation of a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA), and the creation and implementation of Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) have the potential to change how groundwater resources are managed in Ventura County. This report was prepared for the benefit of United’s Board of Directors and senior management, and is not intended to serve as a GSP, define how the sustainable yield should be determined by the GSA, or specify what value or range of values should be used as the sustainable yield. The analyses and results are meant to be used as a starting point in evaluating potential impacts to United’s operations as a result of sustainability planning already underway by the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency (FCGMA) for the study area. Note: an addendum to this was published on November 7, 2017

Guidance Document for the Sustainable Management of Groundwater The objective of this Guidance Document is to provide Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) and other interested stakeholders a checklist of Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) content requirements for the purpose of verifying a GSP is complete and is ready for submission to DWR. Please note that if multiple GSAs develop multiple GSPs for a basin, the coordinated submission of those GSPs shall not occur until the entire basin is covered by GSPs. The Preparation Checklist for GSP Submittal is only intended to provide a guide to GSAs and other stakeholders. This guidance is optional, since the content of this Guidance Document does not create any new requirements or obligations for the GSA or other stakeholders.

Probabilistic Subsidence Forecast Model for the California Aqueduct Subsidence Program, San Joaquin Valley, California: Revision 1 Design Report

California Department of Water Resources (DWR) | October 4th, 2024

This report documents the development of a probabilistic subsidence forecast model for simulating a plausible range of future land-surface altitude conditions along the C

This report documents the development of a probabilistic subsidence forecast model for simulating a plausible range of future land-surface altitude conditions along the California Aqueduct (Aqueduct) and San Luis Canal in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV), with an emphasis on areas of localized subsidence (i.e., “subsidence bowls”). The model forecasts will be used to inform long-term planning and on-going analyses of potential investments needed to provide a suitable level of performance for the Aqueduct. The forecast model is primarily based on an empirical relationship between historical subsidence rates and annual water deliveries from the Central Valley Project (CVP) and State Water Project (SWP). A key assumption of the model is that the rate of groundwater overdraft, which contributes to loss of aquifer storage and permanent land subsidence, is correlated with CVP and SWP deliveries, and specifically with higher groundwater storage loss during severe drought years. Another key assumption is that the same rates of subsidence will continue even after groundwater levels decline and extraction may be coming from deeper parts of the aquifer system. If the geology and/or aquifer properties change dramatically in response, then these new conditions may have an unmodeled impact on future rates.
