The California Department of Water Resources (DWR), in cooperation with local entities and organizations, is holding a Regional Forum to gather and share information relating to the California Water Plan and statewide and local Integrated Water Management. The Forum will also evaluate DWR’s regional approach, asking for feedback on ways to improve outreach.

Why Participate?

 The Forum agenda will provide an overview of the Public Review Draft for Update 2013 of the Water Plan. Information will focus on new and revised content, with details on how to submit comments on the document.

 Extra time will be spent discussing the San Francisco Bay regional report, which describes water conditions – and the water management planning context – for the region.

 Help inform statewide investment policy through review of key elements of strategic water planning issues, priorities and recommendations. These items will be captured in the Executive Summary of the Regional Report that will be included in the Water Plan Highlights document.

 Hear updates on related programs: Round 3 for Prop 84 grants and climate change assessments, EBMUD’s program on interties and desalination, SFPUC projects and updates, and more.
