Water Plan Regional Report hits CA Capitol
MOUNTAIN COUNTIES AREA – Regional Report
To continue to build on the awareness and recognition of Mountain Counties Overlay Area and the California Water Plan Update, Mountain Counties Water Resources Association (MCWRA) hand carried 120 copies of the Mountain Counties Area Volume 2 regional report to each of the 80 Assembly Members and 40 Senators, along with a copy to Governor Brown.
In the midst of this significant enduring drought, Mountain Counties wants long term statewide water objectives and goals to also remain a high priority with the Legislature and policy makers, with emphasis on the statewide significance of the foothills and forests of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.
The Mountain Counties Area regional report is one of 12 regional reports to help drive and implement long term water goals and objectives for California, said John Kingsbury, MCWRA Executive Director. “This Update is not a document to sit on the shelf and collect dust, but should be considered the third leg of the water stool. Effectively integrating and implementing the California Water Plan objectives and recommendations, the California Water Action Plan, and Proposition 1 will go a long way to resolve many of California’s water issues.”
MCWRA thanks our DWR partners, Kamyar.Guivetchi, Lew Moeller, and Paul Messera for their leadership in developing the Water Plan Update and for their help and assistance with this process.
