Local agencies make progress to protect communities and improve groundwater recharge; 40 basin groundwater sustainability plans approved to date.

Today, the Department of Water Resources urged people to avoid physical contact with water at Pyramid Lake in Los Angeles County until further notice due to the presence of blue-green algae.

Moving to help preserve groundwater supplies for Central Valley communities, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) has awarded nearly $17 million to three groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) through the LandFlex Program.

DWR announced $9.2 million in grants to five projects that will restore streams and creeks to more natural environmental conditions and reduce flood risk across multiple communities in California.
