This Report was a joint effort of the Water in the West  Program at Stanford University, the Martin Daniel Gould Center for Conflict Resolution at Stanford Law School, and the Center for Collaborative Policy at California State University Sacramento.  It discusses patterns emerging in GSA formation across the state, and identifies factors affecting decisions about whether to pursue consolidated or coordinated approaches to basin governance.  It also highlights strategies that local agencies and stakeholders may find helpful as they grapple with decisions over GSA formation.  The Yolo Subbasin is one of the eight case studies discussed in the Report.
