Santa Margarita Groundwater Agency (SMGWA), a groundwater sustainability agency, is hosting a public workshop on September 7, 2022, on the topic of Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR). SMGWA prepared and submitted to the State a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) as required under California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. A GSP must include a comprehensive description of “Projects and Management Actions” (PMA) that may be implemented in a groundwater basin to achieve and maintain sustainable conditions.
