The Department of Water Resources continues its work on the "A1" process. The process will work through the Agricultural Stakeholders' Committee that DWR formed to work on technical implementation of the Water Conservation Act of 2009 (SBx7-7). The Stakeholders' Committee is made up of diverse interests representing agricultural, environmental and academic perspectives. The Council is working with the Department through a subcommittee formed specialy to address the A1 tasks. The subcommittee will help the Department to resolve the three primary tasks of:
- Developing a methodology for quantifying the efficiency of agricultural water use.
- Prepare a plan for the implementation of the methodology developed
- Estimate the costs and data needs associated with implementation of the methodology.
For more information on the A1 process, please view our summary page on SBx7-7 or contact Council staff. To view the latest draft of the A1 report to the Legislature, click here.
