The Tuolumne-Stanislaus Integrated Regional Water Management Region has been awarded $8.1 million dollars in funding for its Drought Grant Proposal which was submitted to the Department of Water Resources in July 2014. The grant will fund five projects in the Region over the next five years once contracts have been signed.

On May 26, 2016, the Groveland Community Services District (GCSD) Board of Directors voted 3-1, to revise the Drought restrictions to Phase II with Voluntary 20% water conservation requested, due to the relaxation of mandatory drought conservation requirements by the State of California.
