Strategic Planning Process Overview
This document outlines the Integrated Water Supply Planning process, designed to establish strategic policy direction for long-term water resource objectives. The process involves three key elements: setting foundational policy objectives and reliability targets; evaluating various water supply alternatives, including groundwater, recycled water, and ocean desalination; and prioritizing these alternatives to develop a long-term portfolio strategy. The ultimate goal is to create a Board-informed strategic framework that strengthens water reliability, sustainability, and regional independence, addressing key supply risks and setting targets for locally controlled water to mitigate disruptions.
