Stormwater
Spearheading an important new policy initiative, SCWC established a new Regional Stormwater Task Force in 2011, recognizing the need to develop regional consensus-based strategies and recommendations for utilizing stormwater effectively as a new local water supply, and reduce the urban runoff water pollution problems within the coastal plain of Southern California. The coastal plain of Southern California includes Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties, as well as the Santa Ana River watershed portion of San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
As the reliability of Southern California’s primary water resources
– the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and the Colorado River – become more uncertain, the need to enhance local water supplies within the coastal plain by capturing stormwater is paramount. But in Southern California, stormwater is a valuable water resource that has gone largely untapped...until now.
SCWC has carved out a much-needed leadership role – the only organization providing a regional perspective and coordination on stormwater policy issues.
