County supervisors took action this morning to officially file a notice of intent with the state to establish a groundwater sustainability agency.

It’s more of a technical maneuver than anything else. GSAs are starting to pop up in Kern County, to comply with state law that mandates a statewide effort to balance demand for our groundwater with supplies.

The city of Bakersfield has joined with Kern Delta Water District to form their own GSA.They both draw water from the Kern River.
