Groundwater Coordinating Council
August 2003
The Honorable, The Legislature:
The Groundwater Coordinating Council (GCC) is pleased to release its 2003 Report to the Legislature. The GCC was formed in 1984 to help state agencies coordinate non-regulatory activities and exchange information on groundwater. The GCC has served as a model for interagency coordination and cooperation among state government officials, the Governor, local government and the federal government. It is one of the few groups in the nation to effectively coordinate groundwater activities in its state from an advisory position.
This report summarizes GCC and agency activities related to groundwater protection and management in FY 03 (July 1, 2002 to June 30, 2003) and provides an overview of the condition of the groundwater resource. See the
Executive Summary for highlights and the GCC's recommendations in
Future Directions for Groundwater Protection. This report is available online at
