Creates a public education program concerning water use reduction for communities which rely on groundwater for water supply; expands the water conservation manual; requires smart controllers for automatic irrigation systems.

The bill aims to educate communities that depend on groundwater about how to reduce their water usage. It also plans to update the water conservation manual and mandates the use of smart controllers for automatic irrigation systems, which can help manage water more efficiently.

Supporters of the bill would highlight its proactive approach to conserving water resources in groundwater-dependent communities. By promoting education and modern irrigation technology, the legislation is seen as a vital step towards sustainable water management and environmental protection.
