Water coalition urges California governor to improve water infrastructure in San Joaquin Valley
(UI) — The Water Blueprint for the San Joaquin Valley sent Governor Newsom a letter regarding the recent storms California received and proposed projects to improve the state’s water systems to support fluctuations in rainfall after years of drought.
The coalition commended the administration for tackling California’s water issues with the Governor’s Water Resilience Portfolio and Water Supply Strategy initiative. However, to secure improved water systems in the San Joaquin Valley, the group requests collaborative efforts with Newsom’s administration moving forward.
The Water Blueprint for the San Joaquin Valley suggests a set of resiliency projects that would enhance the administration’s current water agenda and support the Governor’s Water Resilience Portfolio. The projects are innovative solutions to resolve critical water issues facing the region. Actions such as reliable delivery of surplus water through the Delta are among the proposed projects.
"We are encouraged by the Governor's staff and their expressed interest in meeting to discuss the improvements needed for the water conveyance and storage infrastructure for the San Joaquin Valley. We look forward to having those critically important conversations very soon,” Ian LeMay, chair of the board, said.
