What does SGMA stand for?
SGMA is an acronym for Sustainable Groundwater Management Act – a collection of bills (Senate Bill 1168 (Pavley), Senate Bill 1319 (Pavley), and Assembly Bill 1739 (Dickenson)) signed into law by Governor Brown on September 16, 2014 – which requires groundwater to be managed sustainably in groundwater basins by local public agencies.
