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 North Lahontan regional report, which describes regional water conditions and the water management planning context.
  • Discuss regional funding challenges, opportunities and lessons learned. Information and conversation will consider grant programs and match requirements.
