Mission Statement
Our mission is to advocate for short and long term solutions to the California water crisis, including a comprehensive water plan that takes into consideration the needs of families, cities, businesses, agriculture, and the environment. Our objectives will be achieved through public relations, marketing, lobbying efforts, and forming valuable strategic alliances to promote a water plan that benefits the entire state.
About Us
The California Water Alliance is a 501(c)(4) California non-profit corporation. We are non-partisan and welcome members statewide.
The California Water Alliance is dedicated to achieving both short term relief and a long term solution to the water emergency afflicting California. To this end, California Water Alliance supports the development of a water infrastructure bond that is comprehensive, and takes into account the needs of all Californians. We believe an effective investment in California's water infrastructure will include:
Water Conservation and Recycling Facilities;
Above and Below Ground Storage;
Sacramento Delta Restoration;
Desalinization Plants;
Conveyance;
Water Banks; and
Regional Water Projects.
By including all of the above in a water bond, California will have a long-term strategic focus for providing water to individuals, families, businesses, farmers, and the environment for years to come. It is our position that the state’s water crisis can be resolved if we implement a comprehensive plan that provides for maximum flexibility in drought years.
The California Water Alliance directly and indirectly supports other like-minded organizations that are focused on a comprehensive water infrastructure bond on the 2010 state ballot to improve California's overburdened and outdated water infrastructure. We will utilize the many tools available to market and educate the public and politicians on the importance of a comprehensive water package.
We need your support in achieving broad water reform and solving California's water emergency. Please join us in our efforts to secure a sufficient and reliable water source for California.
The Water Crisis Afflicting California
California is suffering the effects of a three-year drought, a state population that has grown to 38 million, an antiquated water delivery system, and government regulations and recent court rulings that restrict pumping of water from the Sacramento Delta.
The Association of California Water Agencies has prepared a video documentary highlighting these serious threats to California's water supply. We invite you to view this informative documentary to learn more.
