Speaker Toni G. Atkins Statement on Groundwater Legislation Signing


 

SACRAMENTO – Assembly Speaker Toni G. Atkins (D-San Diego) released the following statement regarding Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. signing historic groundwater legislation:

 

“I commend Governor Brown for signing this historic legislation. California has the most groundwater of any state, but we are the only state without a groundwater management plan. That just doesn’t make sense. You cannot have reliability without a plan to manage groundwater. Now, for the first time in more than a hundred years, California will develop a process to ensure the groundwater in our aquifers is clean and available for generations to come.”
