California Tribes: Dont be left out!
As a sovereign tribal government located in the state of
California, it is important to have your water needs
recognized
and listed as a priority.
The California Water Plan provides a framework for
watermanagers, legislators, and the public to consider options
and
make decisions regarding Californias water future. The Plan,
which is updated every five years, presents basic data and
information on Californias water resources including water
supply evaluations and assessments of agricultural, urban,
and environmental water uses to quantify the gap between
water supplies and uses. The Plan also identifies and
evaluates
existing and proposed statewide demand management and
water supply augmentation programs and projects to address
the
States water needs.
The California Department of Water Resources beganpublishing the
California Water Plan in 1957. Nearly fifty years
later, for its Water Plan Update 2005, the Department made
its
first concerted effort to involve California Native American
Tribes in the planning process. Despite the Departments good
intentions, Tribal engagement remained minimal. As a result,
Recommendation 13 of Update 2005 called for increasing
Tribal
involvement in statewide, regional, and local water
planning.
Building on Recommendation 13, the Department took a
different approach for its Water Plan Update 2009. Rather
than staff designing its outreach plan, it convened a Tribal
Communication Committee to advise it on how best to contactand
communicate with Californias 168 Native American
Tribes. A few leaders, members, and staff from Tribes
throughout the state began going to Sacramento in October
2007, and nine months later released a Tribal Communication
Plan to guide the Department in its outreach for the Water
Plan.
Today a team of around 30 people are meeting regularly to
plan
a statewide California Tribal Water Summit, with the theme
of
Protect Our Sacred Water, to be held in Sacramento on August
2627, 2009.
