I farm 40-acres of land with a water demand of about 3 acre-feet per acre per year and no access to surface, how much will I owe the GSA on my first bill?

The GSA Board is proposing a groundwater fee of $1.45 per acre for lands within the saturated alluvium of the groundwater basin underlying the GSA.   So, the fee for your parcel would be:

Water Demand: 40 acres  x  3 (AF/ac) = 120 acre-feet

Surface Water Credit: None; no surface water delivery records

Groundwater Fee: 120 acre-feet  x  $1.45 per acre-feet = $175

If your parcel had access to surface water, then water demand is reduced according the volume of water shown on delivery records from the agency providing surface water.

There are many new terms discussed at GSA meetings across the Counties of Kings, Fresno, and Tulare, and for those people not familiar with the jargon it can be difficult to follow along. So, would the GSA please provide definitions to a few key SGMA related terms as well sources for more information.
Will Kings River East GSA accept well meter records as a substitute to the approach used to estimate groundwater pumping on a landowner’s invoice?
