Though the recent barrage of winter storms has certainly improved California's drought conditions, state water leaders are making moves to prepare for the inevitable dry season soon to come.
On Friday, the California Department of Water Resources kickstarted a partnership between state agencies, local governments, scientists and community members in a new task force, called the Drought Resilience Interagency and Partners Collaborative.
The water agency hopes the task force will draft emergency response plans and water management based on anticipated drought impacts. Meetings will include multiple state agency officials to present the ongoing and future drought conditions that California is experiencing. "Even as the state's drought outlook improves, it's critical that the water community all work together to advance drought planning and response for the state's hotter, drier future," Nemeth said."We're looking for a variety of representatives statewide to actively participate on behalf of all water users to achieve a drought resilient future."
