OCWD Management Area
SECTION 8 SUSTAINABLE BASIN MANAGEMENT
8.1 SUSTAINABILITY GOAL
The sustainability goal for the OCWD Management Area is as follows:
Continue to manage the groundwater basin to prevent basin conditions that would lead to significant and unreasonable undesirable results as defined by California Water Code Section 10721(x). Existing monitoring and management programs in place today enable OCWD to sustainably manage the groundwater basin. Since its formation in 1933, OCWD has developed a managed aquifer recharge program, constructed hundreds of monitoring wells, developed water quality monitoring programs, constructed a large surface water recharge system, installed seawater intrusion barriers, and managed the volume of groundwater production through a scientifically based understanding of the ba sin’s sustainable yield and the use of financial incentives. Continued successful protection of the groundwater basin requires that OCWD’s man agement of the basin be able to adapt to changing conditions affecting the groundwater basin. The following sections describe the sustainable basin management for each of the undesirable results as defined in the California Water Code, Section 10721(x).
