As California began a new water year, October 1st, the Association of California Water Agencies called on state leaders today to embrace long-term planning around water management as recommended through its Vision for Our Water Future initiative.
The water year that lasts through September 30, 2027, expected to include an unusually strong El Nino event.
Governor Gavin Newsom recently proclaimed a state of emergency to accelerate preventative flood control work with Forecast predicting a greater than 90% chance of a historically severe event this winter.
ACWA asserts that by using greater operational flexibility, California can capture and store water from a severe weather event, reduce flood risk, and better protect communities.
ACWA Executive Director Carla Nemeth said, "...the start of a new water year is an important reminder that California cannot control wind and how water enters the system, but we can improve our ability to manage it when it does.
That means increasing our ability to capture, move, and store water, whether this winter brings extreme storms or conditions change quickly." California needs a water system designed to manage increasingly extreme and variable conditions.
