LogoCooperative Groundwater
Management Group

Objectives

A Cooperative Groundwater Management Plan was agreed to in 1995 resulting in a Groundwater Management Group consisting of representatives of ten signatories.  This Management Group was established to accomplish several objectives including:

1.  Limit additional large scale pumping in areas that appear to be adversely impacted.

2.  Distribute new groundwater extraction within the Valley in a manner that will minimize adverse effects to existing groundwater conditions (levels and quality), and maximize the long-term supply within the Valley.

3.  Aggressively pursue the development and implementation of water conservation policy and education programs.

4.  Encourage the use of treated water, reclaimed water, recycled, gray and lower quality water where appropriate and economically feasible.

5.  Explore the potential for other types of water management programs that are beneficial to the Valley.

6.  Continue cooperative efforts to develop information and data which contributes to further defining and better understanding the groundwater resource in the Indian Wells Valley.

7.  Develop an interagency management framework to implement and enforce the objectives of this Plan.
