The Sierra Valley Groundwater Management District is making progress on improvements to its monitoring networks, irrigation efficiencies and projects aimed at refilling and reducing demand on aquifers. The district’s Technical Advisory Committee shared details on corrective actions recommended by the Department of Water Resources at a Feb. 9 community meeting. … When the district submitted its evaluation in 2022, DWR recommended creating a more extensive monitoring network. One of those recommendations was for SVGMD to measure changes in land elevation with instruments, as opposed to estimating change with groundwater levels.
