Plan Participation

The goal of the Tribal Advisory Committee is to create a forum where California Native American tribes and organizations can help guide and develop the content for the California Water Plan. Some of their flags are shown from the 49th annual Native American Day.

We strive to receive broad input and support from Californians in producing a strategic water plan that:

Meets California Water Code requirements

Guides State investments in innovation and infrastructure

Advances integrated water management and sustainable outcomes

There are a number of ways individuals and organizations can participate in current and future Water Plan updates.

Policy Advisory Committee

We're required by statute to form an advisory committee to assist in the preparation of the Water Plan. The Public Advisory Committee has been renamed to Policy Advisory Committee (Policy AC) to better reflect the committee's role. The Policy AC has been convened to assist in developing and refining policy recommendations and other strategic elements for the Water Plan. We are committed to an open and transparent process that seeks participation and collaborative input from stakeholders and the general public, thus all Policy AC meetings are open to the public.

Tribal Advisory Committee

The goal of the Tribal Advisory Committee (Tribal AC) is to create a forum where California Native American tribes and organizations can help guide and develop the content for the Water Plan. This helps ensure tribal perspectives on land, water, and culture are included. Coordination between the Tribal AC and the State Agency Steering Committee is the next step to developing policy recommendations and strategies that are responsive to the water concerns of California tribal communities and governments.

Water Plan Core State Agency Team

The purpose of the Core State Agency Team (CSAT) is to facilitate meaningful engagement and alignment of State agencies to prepare California Water Plan Update 2023 as a roadmap- with the Water Resilience Portfolio as its cornerstone - for increasing the effectiveness of State government water-related plans, policies, regulations, and investments.
