Community Planning Forums 2010: WATER

WATER has been, and will always be, a hot topic not only in the region, but in the State as a whole. The amount of WATER available in the future to support residents and the economy while balancing environmental needs will shape how the Monterey Bay Area Region lives, works, and plays, both today and in the years to come. As such, a coordinated effort to determine the best management of this critical resource will ultimately strengthen the region as a whole.

To kick off this endeavor, the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) through its non-profit, RAPS, Inc, will be hosting a series on WATER as part of its 2010 Community Planning Forum. The three forums will consist of three distinct water topics:

WATER Efficiency/Conservation

Recycled WATER, and

Coastal WATER Projects

Each forum will include presentati ons from a panel of experts followed by a moderated discussion and questi on and answer session. In addition, two facility tours will be included to see how the region is currently addressing current and future water needs. Following the three sessions, RAPS will produce a Summary Report that will help inform

the community and community leaders in the region.
