Delta Plan Recommendation
WR R19. Financial Needs Assessment. As part of the California Water Plan Update, the California Department of Water Resources should prepare an assessment of the state’s water infrastructure. This should include the costs of rehabilitating/replacing existing infrastructure, an assessment of the costs of new infrastructure, and an assessment of needed resources for monitoring and adaptive management for these projects. The California Department of Water Resources should also consider a survey of agencies that may be planning small-scale projects (such as storage or conveyance) that improve water supply reliability.
