Question Title

* 3. Which groundwater basin is your property located? See map.

Question Title

* 4. Are you familiar with your Groundwater Sustainability Agency and its role in sustaining our local shared groundwater resources and/or are you familiar with local efforts to manage groundwater?

Question Title

* 5. Historically, groundwater has provided around 50% of total water supplies on a countywide basis. Groundwater levels are considered to be relatively stable in the Petaluma Valley and Santa Rosa Plain subbasins, while the Sonoma Valley subbasin has seen declining groundwater levels in the deep aquifer. The Groundwater Sustainability Agencies are developing programs and policies to protect groundwater levels and increase reliability of groundwater supplies. Please rank the following types of programs you believe the groundwater sustainability agencies should use to protect groundwater with the one you prefer on top then decreasing by interest or willingness:

Question Title

* 6. Would you support the groundwater sustainability agencies investing in your top-ranked projects and programs from Question 5 that help to ensure sustainability of the groundwater basin even if it meant that your water costs more?

Question Title

* 7. Groundwater meters are critical tools for accurately measuring groundwater extraction and associated energy use. The Groundwater Sustainability Agencies are considering options for expanding the network of meters to improve our understanding of groundwater basin conditions and trends. Generally speaking, what is your opinion of the most appropriate regional approach to expanding and diversifying the number of meters contributing to metered data in the basin?

Question Title

* 8. Would you support a policy where city or county staff consider groundwater criteria during their review of discretionary development projects to evaluate potential impacts to groundwater resources and the sustainability goal. In other words, do you believe that groundwater sustainability should be a factor in approval of development permitting.

Question Title
