The Department of Water Resources (DWR) is required by statute (the Water Code) to prepare updates of the California Water Plan every five years, and to form an advisory committee to assist in this effort. The Public Advisory Committee (AC) is a consensus-seeking group comprised of organizations representing diverse interest- and place-based perspectives in order to inform a comprehensive approach for water planning and management. DWR is committed to an open and transparent process that seeks participation and collaborative input from stakeholders and the general public.
