The California Water Plan contains a massive wave of information, so DWR is summarizing the highlights for you in smaller “splashes”! 💦 Today, we’re going to highlight the core belief in our water plan that water resilience for California must include resilience for all. We can advance equitable water management by creating opportunities for meaningful outreach and engagement, building community capacity and resilience, and improving access to state resources.

The River Liffey currently supplies 85% of the water for the Greater Dublin Area. Our dependence on this single source leaves the region exposed to risks of drought and contamination. In addition to this, increasing demands fuelled from housing needs and climate change means that by 2044, our water demand is projected to rise by 34%.   The GDA’s growing water supply deficit is not sustainable - we need a new source of water along with better wastewater treatment systems. If investment in water and wastewater treatment is not made urgently, the city will be without water within a decade.

"“Many regions across the country are facing the reality that groundwater is not an unlimited resource,” says Henry McCarthy, grant program coordinator. “We are working to ensure that development in our region does not outpace the ability of our aquifers to retain adequate supplies.”" #aquifers #groundwater

The California Water Plan contains a massive wave of information, so DWR is summarizing the highlights for you in smaller “splashes”! 💦Today, we’re tackling understanding and addressing equity in the management of California’s water resources. Many Californians experience social, economic, and health disadvantages based on race, gender, age, income level, or any combination of those. When water management decisions don’t account for this reality, it can severely hurt a community. Inequities show up in accessing water, water quality, preparing for climate change impacts like flooding or drought, and being able to afford water. The California Water Plan encourages continued outreach and engagement with frontline communities, Tribes, and non-governmental organizations to inform future Water Plan updates and invest in the next generation of community water leaders and operators.

Check out our article on Mauricio Guardado of the United Water Conservation District: building drought resilience in Ventura County, California from our March issue. The United Water Conservation District manages, protects, conserves, and advances the water supply in a 375-square- mile service area in Southern California. Through careful monitoring and management, it sustains the Santa Clara River’s water resources, its tributaries, and its associated aquifers in an environmentally balanced manner. To build resilience in the face of California’s worsening drought-flood cycles, the district is aggressively pursuing both new sources of water supply and new ways to use its vast storage capacity. In this interview, United’s general manager, Mauricio Guardado, tells Municipal Water Leader about the district’s impressive projects, which span aquifer recharge, brackish water desalination, dam improvements, and more, and the successful partnerships and funding applications that have made it all possible. https://bit.ly/3VqjQYy #WaterConservation #DroughtResilience #VenturaCounty #UnitedWaterConservation #CaliforniaWater #WaterManagement #MauricioGuardado #WaterSecurity

The California Water Plan contains a massive wave of information, so DWR is summarizing the highlights for you in smaller “splashes”! 💦 Today, we’re tackling supporting and learning from Tribal water and resource management practices. While California Native American Tribes have a long history of sustainable water and resource management practices, Tribal communities face water management challenges related to water rights, infrastructure development, engagement, and Tribal direct funding. To address these challenges and learn from Tribal water management practices, we are going to strengthen partnerships with California Native American Tribes and ensure that Tribes are included in planning and water resources decision-making processes. This includes collaborating with Tribes to incorporate Indigenous knowledge into California water policy, planning, and projects, and further understanding Tribal water quality, ecosystems, and access to water, to support Tribal lifeways including subsistence and cultural practices.
