California Water Plan

The California Water Plan is a strategic framework guiding the management and use of the state's water resources. It assesses current and future water supply needs, evaluates environmental and economic impacts, and recommends policies and projects to ensure reliable, sustainable water for agriculture, cities, ecosystems, and industry. The plan emphasizes conservation, infrastructure improvements, and collaboration among stakeholders to address challenges like droughts, population growth, and climate change. Its goal is to balance water availability with quality and environmental health, supporting California’s social and economic well-being now and into the future.
