Framework: From Vision to ProjectsWater Resources Vision
1. Valued and R d R i
2. Healthful and R li bl W
3. Ecologically S i bl
5. Community C ll b i
The District manages water resources holisticallyand sustainably to benefit people and the environment in a way
that is informed by community values.
4. Resilient B l dIntegrated
Goals (Why)
Respected RainManage rainwater to improve flood protection, water supply, and ecosystem health
Reliable WaterEnhance the quantity and quality of water to support beneficial uses
Sustainable Streams/ Watersheds Protect, enhance and sustain healthy and resilient stream ecosystems
CollaborationWork in partnership with an engaged community to champion wise decisions on water resources
Goal ‐ A general direction‐setter expressed as an ideal future related to the end. A goal may be abstract in nature and expressed as a general state. It is generally not quantifiable or time‐dependant
BaylandsProtect, enhance and sustain healthy and resilient baylands ecosystems and infrastructure
Objectives(What) E. Expanded
& Protected Floodplains
A. Reliable Water Supply
C. Surface & GW Quality
B. Sustainable Ground‐water
D. Flood Risk Reduction
Objective – An intermediate step toward attaining a goal(s). It may pertain to one particular aspect of a goal(s) or be one of
l i t t d l( )
J. Community & Tribal
Engagement
I. Emergency Prep
G. Resilient Habitats
H. Climate Change
F. Supportive Stream Flows
several successive steps toward a goal(s).
Targets – SMART targets are associated with each objective.
Strategies(How)
Strategy ‐ A particular course of action that describes the means to support objectives and achieve targets.
Develop partnerships that support mutual
objectives
Increase stakeholder understanding
Develop science‐based policy and priorities
Take action to meet the objective
