Sonoma Valley Groundwater Management Plan

A collaborative group of twenty is developing a groundwater management plan for the Sonoma Valley. The group, called the Basin Advisory Panel, has representatives from local agriculture, dairies, government, business, and environmental interests.

The Basin Advisory Panel started meeting in August 2006 and plans to meet for 16 months to develop the non-regulatory Groundwater Management Plan, which will be adopted by the Sonoma County Water Agency, City of Sonoma, and Valley of the Moon Water District.
