Watch and listen to The California Insider as they interview Geoff Vanden Heuvel, Director of Regulatory and Economic Affairs at Milk Producers. Geoff is deeply involved in SGMA in the Central Valley. We’re fortunate to have his valuable input and advice as we work through our GSP revisions and continue to receive his ongoing support. "The California we know today is really only possible because we move water around—moving water from areas of abundance to areas of need, literally causing the desert to bloom," says Geoff Vanden Heuvel, Director of Regulatory and Economic Affairs at Milk Producers Council. Siyamak sits down with Geoff Vanden Heuvel, who will explain why this water release may have little impact on the Delta Smelt and what it means for the rest of California. "We really cannot afford to waste water in the state. We have to make sure that when we dedicate water to the environment, it does good and protects the environment. We absolutely want to do that and have an obligation to do so, but we must maximize the amount of water we store in wet years, so we have it in the dry years," says Vanden Heuvel.

Rachel Glauser, executive director of Delta View Water Association, said growers reliant on #groundwater for their operations are pleased with the new plan. “At this stage in the game, we want to support the success of the entire subbasin and do what we can to maintain local control over groundwater management,” she wrote in an email. “Thankfully, the #Kaweah GSAs have been extremely well-coordinated and we’re hopeful that an additional layer of grower fees by way of state intervention, will be avoided.” Full article below.
