Water use: Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta watershed: report.

Existing law requires the Department of Water Resources to prepare and update, every 5 years, the California Water Plan, which is a plan for the conservation, development, and use of the water resources of the state. Existing law declares that the policy of the state is to reduce reliance on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in meeting the state's future water supply needs through a specified statewide strategy. Existing law requires each region that depends on water from the Delta watershed to improve its regional self-reliance for water by taking specified actions. The department exports water from the Delta watershed in connection with its operation of the State Water Project. This bill would require the department, in preparing and updating the California Water Plan, to include a report on progress toward meeting the goals described above.
