Section 10753.1 of the Water Code applies to any groundwater regulation under this section. As used in this section, the term “groundwater” has the same definition as set forth in subdivision (a) of Section 10752 of the Water Code.

(b)(1) For the purpose of supplementing the general operating revenues of the joint powers agency, upon the request of the board of directors of the joint powers agency, the Board of Supervisors of San Joaquin County may grant to the joint powers agency funds from the county general fund or Zone 2 of the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District that are available to carry out any purpose of the joint powers agency for which the county or district is authorized to expend funds.

(2)Nothing in paragraph (1) grants a preference to the joint powers agency over other public agencies for the purposes of receiving funds described in that paragraph.
