Bill overview
The Voluntary Groundwater Conservation Act of 2023 aims to help protect groundwater resources by establishing a program that encourages the purchase of groundwater conservation easements. This program would provide financial assistance to eligible entities – such as state and local governments, Tribal organizations, and landowners – to acquire easements on land with historically used groundwater rights. The goal is to reduce groundwater consumption, support landowners adapting to declining resources, and protect agricultural and community well-being while promoting sustainable groundwater management.
