There are three positions available on the Stakeholder Advisory Committee for the Santa Clarita Valley Groundwater Sustainability Agency (SCV-GSA), and the agency has announced that it is seeking qualified applicants to the committee.
The SCV-GSA is reportedly looking for three qualified candidates to join its Stakeholder Advisory Committee, a committee that helps to advise the SCV-GSA board.
“The Committee provides the SCV-GSA with insight and expertise on various social, cultural and economic issues impacting groundwater management in the Santa Clarita Valley,” stated officials with the agency. “The Committee advises the SCV-GSA board on decisions and policy such as sustainable management criteria and implementation.”
The job openings on the committee are reportedly for both a small and a medium groundwater pumper and a community-at-large member.

“The Committee is comprised of members representing various perspectives in the Subbasin, including agriculture, business and environmental interests,” SCV-GSA officials stated.
The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) led to the creation of the SCV-GSA, as the act requires local water agencies to work on both managing groundwater resources as well as preventing over-pumping.
In 2019, the agency’s Stakeholder Advisory Committee was formed, reportedly to represent stakeholders and express stakeholder interests. According to the SCV-GSA, it was also designed to consider alternative views as well as work on consensus-building.
“By January 2022, the SCV-GSA will develop a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) tailored to the resources and needs within our community to maintain and improve resource management where necessary,” reads the SCV-GSA’s website. “The overall goal is to achieve sustainable groundwater management within 20 years.”
Groundwater, or water existing beneath Earth’s surface in soil, rock pores, or crevices, is significant to the agency because it makes up approximately 38 percent of California’s total water supply.
Candidates wishing to apply for the SCV-GSA’s three Advisory Committee openings are asked to visit here, where they can find more information on requirements.
