373.0395 Groundwater basin resource availability
inventory. ---Each water management district shall develop a
groundwater basin resource availability inventory covering those areas deemed
appropriate by the governing board. This inventory shall include, but not be
limited to, the following:
(1) A hydrogeologic study to define the groundwater basin and its
associated recharge areas.
(2) Site specific areas in the basin deemed prone to
contamination or overdraft resulting from current or projected
development.
(3) Prime groundwater recharge areas.
(4) Criteria to establish minimum seasonal surface and ground
water levels.
(5) Areas suitable for future water resource development within
the groundwater basin.
(6) Existing sources of wastewater discharge suitable for reuse
as well as the feasibility of integrating coastal wellfields.
(7) Potential quantities of water available for consumptive
uses.
Upon completion, a copy of the groundwater basin availability inventory
shall be submitted to each affected municipality, county, and regional
planning agency. This inventory shall be reviewed by the affected
municipalities, counties, and regional planning agencies for consistency with
the local government comprehensive plan and shall be considered in future
revisions of such plan. It is the intent of the Legislature that future
growth and development planning reflect the limitations of the available
groundwater or other available water supplies.
