The following is a summary of the requests we received from constituents and developed internally.
Water Supply Protection Program
1. Intra-State Water Planning
Eeneficiary/Grantee/Conh•actor: CWCB, Various
Amount of Request: $250,000
Ranking: High
Product Produced: CWCB needs funding to meet immediate needs for planning funds and to
provide assistance to local entities related to water planning. This assistance has taken the form of
grants that result in water planning products within one year. CWCB is implementing the statewide
water supply initiative and is supporting the basin Roundtables. CWCB also has the responsibility to
address other water planning needs that emerge during the fiscal year, but for which no other
funding source is available. These funds are also used, in part, to help local entities meet immediate
needs and to plan for the future. The funds are also used to get cooperative efforts "off=the-ground."
Water Planning Relationship: The SWSI process highlighted the need for funds to support
local planning efforts. This need is expected to continue.
