The approval of Proposition 1, the Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act, guaranteed $900 million in funding for the development of a Groundwater Sustainability Program. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) administers $800 million, and the DWR will administer the remaining $100 million as Sustainable Groundwater Planning Grant Funds for developing programs that support the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act.
