The plan implements Resource Management Strategy 7, Improve Drought Preparedness and Responses, from the El Dorado Water Agency’s 2019 Water Resources Development and Management Plan. It is funded by Reclamation’s WaterSMART program and the El Dorado Water Agency’s non-federal cost share.
The resulting UARB RDCP complements the public water agency-specific water shortage contingency plans and provides a coherent approach on a regional level for better coordination and promotes the benefits shared by the entire West Slope area. The comment period for the public draft UARB RDCP was from September 13, 2021 to October 13, 2021.
