… As we’ve been reporting, the Kern groundwater subbasin could be put under probation. On Thursday, local water officials met to discuss how to fix the problem. The Kern River Groundwater Sustainability Agency is just one of 20 GSAs (Groundwater Sustainability Agencies) in the Kern County subbasin. They are working with the Kern County Water Agency, Kern Delta Water District, the City of Bakersfield, and many others to keep the Kern subbasin from going into probation under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act.
