Bruce Houdesheldt of the Northern California Water Association speaks to the audience as the Department of Water Resources (DWR) kicked off National Groundwater Awareness Week 2023 with an engaging educational event held at the California Natural Resources Agency headquarters in Sacramento, Sacramento County. The event featured an array of groundwater partners who provided presentations describing their work in groundwater and why groundwater is such an important water resource in California. After the presentations, the in-person audience visited educational stations where they engaged with the day’s speakers and other groundwater professionals. DWR supports groundwater awareness, the agencies and local citizens working to manage groundwater sustainably, by among other things providing data and educational resources for groundwater practitioners, water managers, and the general public.
