The South American Subbasin currently meets semi-annually (once in the Spring and once in the Fall) online only. For more information about future meetings, please go to the SASb Website or email lisa.beutler@stantec.com. 

Domestic Well Advisory Group

The role of the Domestic Well Advisory Group (DWAG) is to provide input to and coordinate with the GSAs in the SASb with regard to domestic wells in the subbsin. The DWAG will:

  • Provide a community perspective from domestic well owners throughout the SASb
  • Create support for further development of a well protection program
  • Facilitate a voluntary domestic well monitoring program
  • Assist with outreach and implementation

Members will work together to develop a mutual understanding of and provide feedback on a variety of aspects of the GSP including, but not limited to, projects and management actions, outreach, monitoring and more. 

Meetings occur sporadically throughout a given year. For more information on an upcoming DWAG meeting, or to be added to the SASb email list for updates on meetings, email info@sloughhousercd.org
