Reliably meet reasonably foreseeable urban water demands under varying hydrologic <br />conditions; minimize mandatory water use restrictions <br />. Reliably meet reasonably foreseeable agricultural water demands under varying hydrologic <br />conditions <br />. Provide water where and when it's needed for agriculture and recreation <br />. Maintain adequate reserves <br />. Sustainably meet demands <br /> <br />Comments <br />. Meet basic needs of water users and the environment <br />. Demands are seasonal <br />- Have water in the amounts and locations needed, especially considering the seasonal <br />nature of some demands such as agriculture and recreation <br />. Sustain a healthy ecosystem <br />. Adequate supply should be provided to sustain agriculture <br />. Reliability must consider drought and growth in the planning process <br />. Planning must include future water supply and demands <br />. Educate the public about the importance of water <br />. Price/ cost of water affects demand <br />. Reliability concerns are similar for environmental and recreational <br />. Recreation is an industrial demand <br /> <br />CDIVI <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />SJD BRT Mtg #1 Summary-final.doc 11/14/2003 <br />
