About Us
What are the goals and vision of the CVGMC?
The CVGMC envisions future coordination with other programs with groundwater monitoring elements, such as the Central Valley Salinity Alternatives for Long-Term Sustainability (CV‐SALTS) and groundwater monitoring identified within the Central Valley Basin Plan Amendment and the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).
What is the CVGMC?
The Central Valley Groundwater Monitoring Collaborative (CVGMC) is a group of irrigated lands coalitions and other stakeholders across the Central Valley working collaboratively under a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to protect groundwater quality.
Why did the CVGMC form?
The CVGMC was created to comply with the various Waste Discharge Requirements of the participating Central Valley Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program (ILRP) agricultural coalitions, including monitoring and characterizing regional groundwater quality conditions and trends.
Who is the CVGMC?
A group of ten irrigated lands coalitions founded the CVGMC and work collaboratively under an MOA, which was signed on October 27, 2017.
