Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater Basin Groundwater Management Plan • Monitoring and science programs focused on the source and migration of saline groundwater; • Development of operations criteria for protection against prolonged droughts and the prevention of Basin mismanagement; and • Development of sufficient local and outside revenue sources to meet Basin MO #2. 3.3 Surface Water Quality and Flow Management Objective #3: Surface Water Quality Minimize impacts to surface water quality and flow due to continued Basin overdraft and planned conjunctive use. Groundwater Management Plan elements contributing to the success of Basin MO #3: • Utilization of surface water supplies when available in a regional groundwater recharge program or conjunctive use program that is sensitive to downstream users and the environment; • Avoidance or mitigation of projects that detrimentally affect surface water quality and flow; • Increased understanding of the interaction between surface water and groundwater through basin-wide monitoring and science programs; • Regular updates to the Eastern San Joaquin County Groundwater Model as new data becomes available; and • Development of sufficient local and outside revenue sources for projects and programs to meet the Basin MO #3. 3.4 Inelastic Land Subsidence Management Objective #4: Water Quality Prevent inelastic land subsidence in Eastern San Joaquin County due to continued groundwater overdraft. Groundwater Management Plan elements contributing to the success of Basin MO #4: • Continue to monitor observations of datums and bench marks in order to assess if an inelastic land subsidence problem exists in Eastern San Joaquin County; and • Should problems exist, the Authority will re-evaluate the need for inelastic land subsidence monitoring and prevention programs.
