Climate Change
CLIMATE CHANGE AND WATER RESOURCES
The Water Boards are committed to reducing the impact of climate change on our environment. We will be looking at our existing policies and programs to identify areas in which we can integrate climate change aspects and comply with the goals stated in the enacted legislation of AB 32 (Statues of 2006, Chapter 488). We will also be determining how climate change is directly impacting our programs and what we can do to address those impacts.
