The District is required to consider many different factors when establishing the groundwater allocation for each permittee. Some considerations include the following:

  • The amount of groundwater requested by applicant
  • Location of the groundwater well
  • Availability of alternative water supply
  • Participation in a groundwater reduction plan
  • Use of groundwater credits to offset groundwater pumpage

Each situation is unique. Please contact the District permitting staff if you have further questions.
