Groundwater summit moves from capitol to Clovis, changes focus to farmers
An annual groundwater conference is being moved this year from downtown Sacramento to Clovis in an attempt to reach those most affected by the state’s new groundwater law – farmers. The conference, “Faces of SGMA Implementation Summit” put on by the Groundwater Resources Association will be held June 2-3 at the Clovis Veterans Memorial Building. … The Groundwater Resources Association’s mission is to help improve groundwater supply by fostering greater education. To that end, this year’s conference will feature large and small growers who will give examples of how they’ve modified their operations under SGMA.
