CNRSW Water Security Support/Consult Services

Background
Navy Region Southwest (NRSW) N40 is responsible for ensuring future water sustainability and security in support of military operations across various installations. The focus is particularly on installations that utilize their own groundwater, such as NAS Fallon, especially in states facing severe water shortages and those under California's Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).

The bases involved include Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake (NAWS CL), Naval Air Station Lemoore (NASL), and Naval Support Activity Monterey (NSA). Due to increased active water rights litigations and regulatory pressures, contractor support is necessary as internal resources are insufficient.
