Well Metering & Reporting Program Overview
The SCV-GSA completed its Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) for the Santa Clara River Valley East Groundwater Subbasin (the Basin) in January 2022 and is now working on implementing the GSPs approach to monitoring meter extractions.
There are two types of well-owners. Please click on the well type to learn more about the program.
De Minimis
A well owner who extracts two acre-feet or less of groundwater per year for domestic purposes only.
Non-de minimis
A private groundwater well owner who pumps more than 2 acre-feet/year for purposes like commercial or agricultural activities. This may include, but may not be limited to, agricultural wells, golf course wells, and other non-municipal supply wells.
