Improving California’s Water Market (Online)
September 23, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
About the Program
As California works to bring its groundwater basins into balance under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), water banking and trading are important tools to help manage the transition—but aging infrastructure and complex regulations are limiting expansion. Join the PPIC Water Policy Center and state and local experts for a panel discussion on how to improve California’s water markets while protecting communities from harm.
This research and event are supported with funding from the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation, the Water Foundation, and the Water Funder Initiative Water Campaign.
