With climate change & development straining finite water supplies, it's more important than ever that water managers easily visualize data to guide their decisions. The new Groundwater Accounting Platform does just that. More about the new release:
These has been substantial progress in establishing local groundwater sustainability agencies in California, says Ann Hayden of @EnvDefenseFund. But more needs to be done to reduce demand for groundwater and monitor the use. #podcast at
