California Passes Water Management Legislation for the Future
This article focuses on the implications for water suppliers of three new bills passed in early November 2009 by the California Legislature: SB7×6, which authorizes local governments to implement groundwater monitoring programs; SB7×7, which mandates conservation and efficiency programs; and, SB7×8, which requires that all people who divert or store water from surface streams or water bodies report those diversions to the state. Though the bills expressly provide protections for vested water rights, they increase the burdens on rights holders to maintain and preserve those rights. California's move toward increased oversight, though moderate, may provide a template or precedent for similar expansions of state oversight in other states.
