DAC Grant Findings
Proposition 84 Disadvantaged Communities Grant Findings
Welcome! This page is a centralized location to showcase the findings from the Prop. 84 Disadvantaged Communities Grant.
Documentary Film
Over half of the communities in the Inyo-Mono IRWM region are disadvantaged according to the California statutory definition (80% or less of the statewide median household income). Together with scarce water resources in this semi-arid climate, such disadvantage often means limited access to abundant and high-quality drinking water. This film tells the water story of some of these communities and explores solutions being pursued by the Inyo-Mono IRWM Program. We hope you enjoy it.
This film was produced by Bristlecone Media of Bishop, CA, and was funded by the California Department of Water Resources through a Proposition 84 IRWM grant.
DAC Grant Final Report
The final report for the Prop. 84 DAC project was submitted to the Department of Water Resources on September 30, 2014. The report is the culmination of nearly three years of work with disadvantaged communities in the Inyo-Mono region. Within the report, a series of recommendations to the Department of Water Resources is included (Chapter 6).
DAC Grant Final Report
As a way to strengthen our voice and the power of the recommendations from our report, we worked with representatives from the other DAC pilot project regions to convene a workshop of all seven pilot project regions and state agency personnel. The result of this workshop is another set of recommendations being put forth by all seven regions and helped along by state agency staff.
