Description | The Watershed Planning Act was established by the Legislature in 1998. It provides a framework for local citizens, in collaboration with local, state, and tribal governments, to voluntarily develop watershed plans that address the future water needs of their communities. Plans must describe strategies to provide sufficient and reliable supplies of water into the future that satisfy residential, agricultural and industrial needs, as well as instream flow needs for fish, habitat and recreation. The Legislature also provided grant funding to support the local development of watershed plans, organized around the four phases of watershed planning: Phase 1- Organizing; Phase 2 – Assessment; Phase 3 - Plan Development; and Phase 4 - Implementation. Since the law was enacted, 37 local watershed groups have been involved in this process and have spent over $35 million. To date, local groups have completed, and their county governments have adopted new watershed plans for 22 different watersheds. In 2007-09, most of the work will shift to Phase 4 – Implementation. The attached map shows watershed planning grant requests from local watershed groups for watershed planning and implementation in 2007-09. |
