Alternative Groundwater Sustainability Plan
On December 29, 2016, CVWD, DWA, CWA, and IWA collaboratively submitted the 2010 Coachella Valley Water Management Plan Update as an Alternative Groundwater Sustainability Plan (Alternative GSP) for the Indio Subbasin, with an associated Bridge Document, to DWR for review and evaluation. On July 17, 2019, DWR determined that the Alternative GSP for the Indio Subbasin satisfies the objectives of SGMA and notified the Indio Subbasin GSAs that the Alternative GSP was approved, and that they would be required to submit an assessment and update of the Alternative GSP by January 1, 2022, and every five years thereafter. The Indio Subbasin GSAs have initiated the 2022 Alternative GSP Update and more information can be found at www.IndioSubbasinSGMA.org. A copy of the Alternative GSP for the Indio Subbasin can be found at DWR’s SGMA Portal (Section B).
