 Home > Climate Change and the California Water Plan
The priorities for investigating and responding to global climate change as it affects water resources and delivery systems should be viewed in the context of statewide water planning as set by the California Water Plan, Governor's Administration water policy, and legislative review. An integrated approach to the Department’s activities will allow priorities to be set based on statewide strategic water plans to meet present and future beneficial uses through formal stakeholder involvement in the Water Plan Advisory Committee process. The Advisory Committee process will also be useful in assisting local agencies responding to climate change impacts by facilitating the dissemination of climate change information and modeling studies.
