One of the nine groundwater conservation districts we audited--Permian Basin Underground Water Conservation District--did not achieve a majority of the objectives in its groundwater management plan. Therefore, we assessed this district as not operational. The State has no assurance that this district is adequately conserving, preserving, and protecting the groundwater it administers.
