Continuing the County Conversation on Water
Tuesday — 3:30 pm to 4:45 pm
Magic Kingdom Room 2
With California facing one of the most severe droughts on record, focus on water has been at the forefront of discussions this year within the Legislature and across the state. Law makers have been grappling with issues related to sustainable and reliable water supply, water quality and the management of our watersheds and groundwater resources, along with the myriad of issues that threaten the health of our Delta. This workshop will feature regional perspectives from elected officials, as well as water suppliers and other stakeholders on key topics including, forest management and water quality, groundwater management and delta sustainability. Join us for this workshop and weigh in on a historic issue that will impact every Californian.
