San Luis Rey Valley Groundwater Basin

Basin

Basin Description ( 9-7 )

According to the Department of Water Resources’ Bulletin 118, the San Luis Rey Valley Basin (SLR Basin) extends from the confluence of the San Luis Rey River and Paradise Creek continuing downstream through four valleys (Pauma, Pala, Bonsall and Mission) and ending at the Pacific Ocean in the City of Oceanside. Only Pala and Pauma Valleys (as shown on the map), known as Upper San Luis Rey Valley Groundwater Subbasin, are subject to the requirements of SGMA.

On November 14, 2018, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors Authorized the County of San Diego to Withdraw from Managing the San Luis Rey Valley Groundwater Basin as a Groundwater Sustainability Agency.

Effective January 31, 2019 the County of San Diego is no longer a Groundwater Sustainability Agency.

Refer to the Upper San Luis Rey Groundwater Management Authority for GSA updates.
