FRAZIER PARK, CA (Wednesday, June 14, 2017 at 4:05 p.m.)—California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA)** and how your local water district can profit from it will be the focus of the Water Association of Kern County (WAKC) on Tuesday, June 27 from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bakersfield Museum of Art (1930 R St., Bakersfield).
“Implementing and profiting from SGMA,” is the talk to be presented by Mike Young, professor of Environmental and Water Policy at the University of Adelaide, Australia.
He said he will explain ideas for “using SGMA as an opportunity to put a state-of-the-art groundwater sharing system in place.”

The cost is $20 for WAKC members or $25 for non-members.
