DWR Issues Draft Drought Contingency Plan

Noting that climate change will likely increase the frequency and intensity of droughts, a new state report says conservation and preparedness will be key to future water management in California.

Released for public review yesterday by the Department of Water Resources, the draft California Drought Contingency Plan identifies strategies and actions state agencies should take to prepare for and respond to future droughts or other water shortage events.

DWR will hold a workshop on the draft plan on Aug. 10 in Sacramento. Details are available here.
