4 Water Management Transitions Era of Conflict

5   Pattern deals with symptoms, not problems   Places blame, does not find solutions   Blocks another group’s progress   Progress is measured through allocation of pain

6 Integrated Resources Planning The Transition Competing Needs Conflict Limited Resources

7 California Water Plan Key Initiatives:  Integrated Regional Water Management  Statewide Water Management

8 Resource Management Strategies Reduce Water Demand  Agricultural Water Use Efficiency  Urban Water Use Efficiency Improve Operational Efficiency & Transfers  Conveyance  System Reoperation  Water Transfers Increase Water Supply  Conjunctive Management & Groundwater Storage  Desalination –Brackish & Seawater  Precipitation Enhancement  Recycled Municipal Water  Surface Storage – CALFED  Surface Storage - Regional/Local Reduce Water Demand  Agricultural Water Use Efficiency  Urban Water Use Efficiency Improve Operational Efficiency & Transfers  Conveyance  System Reoperation  Water Transfers Increase Water Supply  Conjunctive Management & Groundwater Storage  Desalination –Brackish & Seawater  Precipitation Enhancement  Recycled Municipal Water  Surface Storage – CALFED  Surface Storage - Regional/Local Improve Water Quality   Drinking Water Treatment and Distribution   Groundwater/Aquifer Remediation   Matching Quality to Use   Pollution Prevention   Urban Runoff Management Practice Resource Stewardship   Agricultural Lands Stewardship   Economic Incentives (Loans, Grants, and Water Pricing)   Ecosystem Restoration   Floodplain Management   Recharge Areas Protection   Urban Land Use Management   Water-Dependent Recreation   Watershed Management

9 Options for Water Supply

10 Integrated Regional Water Management Why IRWM?  Water management actions and issues are interconnected  A variety of entities are responsible for different actions  IRWM promotes a sustainable, efficient approach to water management by bringing together interests, issues, and solutions

11 Integrated Regional Water Management Integration Considerations  Water quality and quantity  Demand management and supply enhancement  All beneficial water uses  Upstream, downstream, and instream effects  Management of other resources (land use, energy)  Broad societal costs and benefits

12 Integrated Regional Water Management Participants  Water purveyors  Wastewater agencies  Flood control agencies  Cities & counties  Native American tribes  Self-supplied water users  Stakeholder organizations Industry Environmental Community  State, federal, and regional agencies or universities

13 Integrated Regional Water Management Objectives  Plan with a common understanding of conditions and issues  Address regional issues with approaches that cannot be implemented by individual entities  Provide the most cost effective water management alternatives  Build on local planning efforts and leverage investments in existing infrastructure  Resolve conflicts between stakeholders  Meet the needs of individual participants  Build working relationships that will guide ongoing planning and implementation  Plan with a common understanding of conditions and issues  Address regional issues with approaches that cannot be implemented by individual entities  Provide the most cost effective water management alternatives  Build on local planning efforts and leverage investments in existing infrastructure  Resolve conflicts between stakeholders  Meet the needs of individual participants  Build working relationships that will guide ongoing planning and implementation 14

Prop 50 IRWM Program Generating Statewide Interest Current Grant Cycle  $150 million available  $1.4 billion requested  Local cost share $2.5 billion +  50 proposals, 400+ projects  Program has resulted in new working relationships broader geographic planning areas prioritization after intense reconsideration of needs Current Grant Cycle  $150 million available  $1.4 billion requested  Local cost share $2.5 billion +  50 proposals, 400+ projects  Program has resulted in new working relationships broader geographic planning areas prioritization after intense reconsideration of needs 20

15 Implementing Water Management  Governor Schwarzenegger proposed a Strategic Growth Plan in January 2006  10 year plan for broad infrastructure improvements, including water management  Water management elements based on California Water Plan recommendations  Governor Schwarzenegger proposed a Strategic Growth Plan in January 2006  10 year plan for broad infrastructure improvements, including water management  Water management elements based on California Water Plan recommendations

16 Governor’s Strategic Growth Plan $29 Billion over 10 years  Bonds & Water Resources Investment Fund provide stable funding for: Regional Investments Statewide Investments  Bond financing jump starts investments ($6.5 billion)  WRIF provides continuous and sustained investments (about $5 billion)  Bonds and WRIF create incentive for other local investments and provide cost share to obtain federal matching funds (about $17.5 billion)  Bonds & Water Resources Investment Fund provide stable funding for: Regional Investments Statewide Investments  Bond financing jump starts investments ($6.5 billion)  WRIF provides continuous and sustained investments (about $5 billion)  Bonds and WRIF create incentive for other local investments and provide cost share to obtain federal matching funds (about $17.5 billion) 6

17 Water Resources Investment Fund  Stable source of funding  All water retailers pay into the fund based on customer base  Most WRIF funds support Integrated Regional Water Management  Provides targeted funding for projects and programs with statewide benefits  Stable source of funding  All water retailers pay into the fund based on customer base  Most WRIF funds support Integrated Regional Water Management  Provides targeted funding for projects and programs with statewide benefits

18 Regional Fund Distribution  Funds Allocated to Regions, Not Agencies  Funding Contingent on Regional Plan  Funds Allocated to Regions, Not Agencies  Funding Contingent on Regional Plan

19 Stalemate…  Surface Storage – Love It or Hate It  Is California Ready for Integrated Regional Water Management?  Is Water Management a Priority for State Funding?  Surface Storage – Love It or Hate It  Is California Ready for Integrated Regional Water Management?  Is Water Management a Priority for State Funding?

20 Moving Forward Issues for Further Discussion  Financing?  Form of Regional Governance?  Role of State Government?  Financing?  Form of Regional Governance?  Role of State Government?
