ACWA represents more than 460 public water agencies that collectively deliver approximately 90 percent of the water in California for domestic, agricultural, and industrial uses. ACWA’s members are implementing significant actions to respond to California’s drought emergency, and are continuing to invest in local solutions to manage water supply during dry years. Given the serious concerns with California’s ongoing drought, ACWA appreciates the intent of the draft Emergency Regulation to protect previously stored water and water transfers from unauthorized diversions.
