Collaborative #cawater planning agency in California's Central Valley comprised of nearly 60 public & private organizations. RT's/follows ≠ endorsement.
The @CAgovernor's Mar. 10 Exec Order makes it easier to capture water from storms to recharge #groundwater supplies while helping to reduce flood risk. @dcameron177, a groundwater recharge pioneer, describes how these projects work, & why they're important during intense storms.
The Integrated Water Management Program has awarded over $1.7B throughout CA & $5.6B in local investments to help implement 1,300+ projects that foster #ClimateResilience by mitigating drought impacts, improving water supply reliability & quality, & reducing flood & fire risk.
Last week, Kings Basin Water Authority received $6.2 million from DWR’s Integrated Water Management program to implement projects that increase stormwater storage capacity, improve urban flood protection, and support #groundwater recharge.
Thank you @WadeCrowfoot for the roundtable discussion about the positive impacts of the IRWM Program in our region, our concerns about water resources, and considering ways to build flexibility for various entity types to access critical funding opportunities.
Insightful discussion with local #water leaders from the Central Valley. Thank you City of Parlier for hosting. State-local partnerships are key to our water future. @WadeCrowfoot
